About the Item
This exceptional vintage French seafood service comprises twelve oyster plates and one large matching round serving platter, all handcrafted by the renowned M.B.F.A. workshop in Pornic, France. Entirely hand-painted (Peint à la main), the set showcases the workshop’s signature artistic style and mid-20th-century craftsmanship.
Each plate features a textured grey and white background, with moulded wells designed to hold oysters, scallops, or other shellfish. The wells are decorated with vivid burnt-orange leaf motifs outlined in black, creating a striking contrast against the brushed, abstract-style backdrop. The raised enamel glazes give depth, dimension, and a subtle sheen that beautifully catches the light.
The mark M.B.F.A. Pornic refers to the Manufacture de Faïence de Bretagne, a renowned French ceramics workshop located in the coastal town of Pornic. Celebrated for its mid-20th-century craftsmanship, the company specialised in hand-painted faience, producing distinctive and highly collectible tableware.
The set includes:
• 12 oyster/scallop plates – each with seven wells for shellfish and a central space for lemon or sauce.
• 1 large round serving platter – with a greater number of wells, perfect for presenting a bountiful seafood selection at the table.
Combining utility with artistic appeal, this seafood service will bring an unmistakable vintage French charm to any gathering, whether for elegant dinner parties or as a display piece in a collector’s cabinet.
