French Place Setting

This dinnerware celebrates the beauty in everyday objects; in this case, the willow gathering baskets used in French kitchen gardens. Pillivuyt, the French manufacturer of fine porcelain, developed it for us from one of their archival patterns. New molds were hand carved by a single artisan in order to ensure consistency of detail. Complementing both casual and formal table settings, the versatile dinnerware is made of porcelain, which is as durable as it is beautiful.

True to the French spirit of dining well every day, this flatware melds classic elegance with exceptional durability and ease of care. Expertly crafted in a small town in Normandy, the collection features fiddleback handles edged with beading as refined as a string of pearls. Stainless steel lends heft and substance, along with a shine that rivals silver plate (no polishing required). A high chrome content gives the knife blade superior strength and a sharp, straight edge. Dishwasher safe. Made in France.

Elegant yet understated, this flatware combines clean lines and large European proportions. Made by a noted French company, each piece is striking: The bowl of the soup spoon, for example, is almost 3" long. The flatware is made of polished stainless steel. This composition most closely approximates silver-plated flatware, but the pieces will never tarnish. The five-piece place setting includes an 8 1/4" dinner fork, 7 1/4" salad fork, 9 3/4" dinner knife, 8 1/4" soup spoon and 7 1/4" teaspoon.

Embellished with classic blue fillets, this white porcelain dinnerware is suitable for everyday dining as well as entertaining. It's produced by Apilco, a French company that has supplied restaurant-quality porcelain to culinary professionals since 1906. As with all of Apilco's signature white dinnerware, these restaurant-quality pieces can be dressed up or down, paired them with various styles of linens, flatware and glassware. Microwavable; freezer, oven and dishwasher safe.
