Antique Gien Oiseaux et Bourgeois 8-1/2" Plates Set of 6

There is something so charming about a table set with blue and white French faience, and this set of six antique Gien plates brings that timeless look beautifully to life. Decorated in the beloved Oiseaux et Bourgeois pattern, each plate features a delightful scene with birds, figures, fountains, and romantic landscapes, in cobalt blue on a creamy white background. Made by the celebrated French manufactory Faïencerie de Gien, established in 1821 along the Loire, this pattern reflects the 19th century’s fascination with pastoral life, architectural romance, and nature in motion. Gien became renowned for its finely detailed transferware, often inspired by engravings and illustrated scenes of the era.

At 8½ inches in diameter, they are a wonderful size for lunch, dessert, salad, or layering with larger plates to create an inviting collected table. The scenes vary slightly, there are two each of each individual scene, this gives the set character. Whether you use them every day or bring them out for speical gatherings with family and friends, they add warmth, history, and unmistakable French charm to your table.

Complimentary U.S. shipping included.
