The kind of plate that makes a table feel like it has been set with intention rather than habit. Found in Villeneuve-lès-Avignon, this Bryonia pattern plate carries a sweeping border of vine leaves and curling tendrils in a soft violet transfer, the motif drawn from the climbing bryony plant that wound its way through 19th century decorative arts. Produced for well-appointed French tables, patterns like this balanced ornament with function, giving everyday meals a sense of occasion without fuss. Sylvie stacks a few within reach in the kitchen, ready for an impromptu lunch that somehow turns into something longer. Sold individually.
Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.
