French Decorative Dinnerware

The feel of hand-painted designs on the fingertips, the differences, however slight, between one piece and the next -- pottery that has been thrown or painted by hand takes on the character of its maker. We have visited many ateliers (workshops) to find those artisans whose quality is of the highest level, whose designs capture the essence of the French countryside, and whose products will bring both beauty and functionality to your table or home. We feature a selection of French hand-painted dinnerware from the Dieulifit region, each piece bearing the mark or signature of the atelier or artist.

On this page, you'll find descriptions and photos of each of our decorative French dinnerware patterns, with links to the full listing of available pieces and pricing.  Click on your pattern choice, or simply scroll down:
