A striking collection of seven sculptural Limoges porcelain pieces designed by Sylvie Coquet for Feeling’s, each bearing the manufactory mark.

The collection beautifully illustrates Coquet’s highly distinctive approach to tableware, in which porcelain is treated almost as a sculptural medium. Rather than relying on painted decoration, the pieces come alive through relief, texture, organic form, and the changing play of light across their surfaces.

Two rectangular serving platters feature delicate botanical impressions in relief, as though wild plants had been fossilized directly into the porcelain. One is executed in luminous white, while the smaller example has a subtle warm taupe tone and a gently curved profile.

Two large round plates explore the movement of water. One is crossed by flowing horizontal wave-like lines, while the other is modeled with irregular concentric ripples reminiscent of circles spreading across the surface of a pond.

A small free-form round bowl, a wonderfully organic oval piece with concentric sculptural contours, and a finely textured rectangular presentation piece complete the collection.

Displayed together, the seven pieces create a beautiful landscape of porcelain, allowing shadows, glossy surfaces, subtle relief, and intentionally irregular forms to become the decoration.

Equally appealing as sophisticated serving ware or as a collection of contemporary French sculptural objects.

Handmade Limoges porcelain.

The pieces bear the manufacturer’s mark:
