BERNARDAUD LIMOGES FRANCE Roma bleu Made in France Vintage 1990s Limited Edition ⚫︎Unused BERNARDAUD, a renowned porcelain manufacturer from Limoges, France. Since its establishment in 1863, it has adorned the tables of world-class hotels, Michelin-starred restaurants, and official state dinners around the world, making it the pinnacle of French porcelain. This "Roma bleu" features a deep, captivating cobalt blue, delicate gold accents, and classical decorations reminiscent of acanthus leaves, fruits, and flowers, elegantly combined to create a beautiful fusion of the grandeur of Roman architecture and the elegance of French porcelain ⁂ The 1990s, when this series was produced, was the last era when sophisticated handcraftsmanship, heavy gold accents, and deep cobalt blue were still lavishly employed. In recent porcelain manufacturing, due to cost, environmental regulations, and labor costs, most products are manufactured in factories in Southeast Asia. Such high-density gold decoration and deep blue colors have been significantly simplified. Reproducing the same level of expression in modern times is virtually impossible, especially in France. Furthermore, "Roma bleu" is a series with high decorative value within BERNARDAUD, and its production numbers were limited ⁂ Due to its scarcity, it is not often encountered. While preserving traditional techniques, it is a highly refined series that naturally blends into the modern dining table. The shape is designed to gently rise towards the edge. It is a deep plate, but the blank space is beautiful, and the moment food is placed on it, the ingredients stand out, creating a glamorous atmosphere like a restaurant, even for a simple meal. Perfect for everyday use, special occasions, guests, or for those days when you want to "indulge a little" ˊᵕˋ A piece that allows you to feel authentic French luxury ⁂ Please enjoy it! ⚫︎Size Diameter: Approximately 30cm Height: Approximately 3.8cm ⚫︎I purchased this by reservation in France at the time.
