The plates are decorated to order in our workshop in Alfortville: the pattern is prepared, then applied and glazed by hand before firing. The set is presented in 2 boxes of 31 × 31 × 10 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAt your table\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the soft light of a dinner, on a natural linen tablecloth, the vertical band brings a graphic rhythm to the table and brings guests together around a pattern that is as much to look at as it is to share.
