Medium: Glazed faience
This 91 piece glazed faience dinner service, executed at the Faiencerie of Marcel Meran in L’Isle Adam for the Compagnie des Arts Français, is a consummate example of the firm's dual focus on heritage and modernity. Süe et Mare were known for updating the Louis-Philippe era, which they considered “the last truly French style,” employing pared-down forms, stylized decorative elements, and a modern palette.
The service comes with a certificate of authenticity from the Musée des Arts Décoratifs and consists of approximately:
