They are crafted in Malicorne-sur-Sarthe, a region renowned for faience and stoneware since the 18th century. In the workshop founded in the early 20th century, Stéphane rediscovered old pieces that had never been glazed. Using these original models, he decided to revive production, faithfully preserving the motifs and techniques of the time.
The clay still comes from the region. It is gathered, sifted, and left to dry slowly on site, then shaped and glazed in the workshop. Each platter thus embodies a meticulous craftsmanship, passed down from generation to generation.
Both decorative and functional, these wheat-sheaf platters are naturally at home in the center of the table or hung on a wall—a living reminder of the art of French faience.
