Gien floral dessert plates (x4)

  • Gien is a luxury French Maison
  • Handmade in a workshop existing since 1821
  • 4 gorgeous and unique designs by artist Fabrice Moireau

Gien dinnerware represents a timeless heritage and craftsmanship. I fondly recall seeing my grandmother’s table set with Gien plates during special gatherings, always impressed by their beauty. She would proudly say, “It’s a Gien.”

This Impressionists collection, inspired by the home of Impressionist painter Claude Monet, features 4 dessert plates, each with a distinct design: Monet’s house, his garden, the Rodin museum garden, and the house of the Museum of Romantic Life.

The vibrant colors and elegant style brighten any table. Handmade from durable earthenware in Gien’s historic workshop, established in 1821, these plates blend artistry with tradition.

The Impressionists edition also includes a platter

Brand story

Faïencerie de Gien celebrated its 200th anniversary in 2021. Created in 1821, the manufacture settled on the banks of the river Loire, in the monastery Couvent des Minimes.
During the 19th century, Gien made famous for personalized collections for the European aristocratic families. In the early 1900s, Gien produced part of Paris metro tiles. And recently, Gien designed and produced exclusive collections for Versailles and Chambord castles. The crafting techniques remain today the same as 200 years ago, and each product requires the know how of at least 30 different earthenware masters.
French people are proud to have Gien dinnerware. Collectors even display them on the wall! More commonly, Gien dinnerware is used for special events and fancy dinners. They are emblematic of the art of the French table.
