About
Setting a dining table with vintage plates is part of a long French tradition, where everyday meals and special occasions are given equal care. We curate vintage French plates with exacting standards, selecting pieces for their quality, character, and provenance. The collection includes vibrant green glazed plates from Dieulefit and Vallauris, fish-shaped plates traditionally used for bouillabaisse in coastal regions such as Marseille, as well as classic ironstone and transferware. We focus on plates produced by skilled artisans and established French makers including Sarreguemines, Limoges, Gien and Longchamp. These plates were made for use and remain well suited to the table today. Each plate is individually inspected, precisely measured, and professionally photographed, with age-related wear clearly noted. Inventory is maintained in real time so that you can purchase with ease. All plates ship directly from France and are carefully packed for secure transport. Vintage plates pair naturally with antique silverware , table linens, and classic stemware , forming a considered and enduring table setting .
