The MBFA Pornic ceramic company is situated in Loire Atlantique, Western France. By the designer Bernard Serraz, the plates are glazed ceramic, and decorated with a bold graphic pattern in red and black on a gray background. Each plate has six leaf shaped wells for holding oysters, mussels or scallops, and a larger central well for lemons or a dipping sauce.

Very impactful – a great representation of the Mid-Century era of French design.
Each plate varies slightly as they are entirely painted by hand.

Measures: 10 in. in diameter x .75 in. height.
The versos are glazed in a pale blue and marked: MBFA Pornic, with the French text for hand painted – paint à la main.

Multiple plates are available, all in excellent vintage condition. See less
