    Crockery

    Today's crockery, with its unusual shapes, innovative materials and original patterns, is full of surprises.
     
    All sorts of novel items have been developed to match contemporary eating habits. Shapes have evolved to welcome the world onto our plates. Now we have pasta plates with a dip in the middle so that you can wrap the spaghetti around your fork and sushi plates that have severa compartments. Meals are no longer restricted to a table set with dinner plates. We can relax and dine informally around a low table or standing up at a bar. The tray meal is like a toy tea with many small containers such as pickle dishes, bowls and cups.

    For snacks and stand-up dinners, everything is designed so you can eat with one hand and hold a glass in the other ! Italian Joe Velluto's King Plate has a hole in the centre to make it easier to hold while Philippe Stark's "Lux" cocktail crockery has a spike to put your glass on.

    Now that crockery has been allowed to leave the table, it has become less breakable. Plastic is very popular but today's plastic plates have nothing in common with those cheap white disposable items. Often made of melamine, they are lacquered, coloured and upmarket. When you touch them, they feel more like porcelain or light China.
     
    Recyclable, natural materials are also very trendy. Bamboo table sets, wooden platters and paper bowls are perfect for eating organic food in style. "Moneral" combines theingenuity of Panu Remes with a Finnish forest. This forest engineer used to provide the local anglers with picnics on disks cut from his beech trees. He simply took the idea one step further by adding a coat of varnish to respect hygiene standards.

    Ceramics are still very much alive but with a more contemporary type of decoration. The designers have successfully turned something traditional into something trendy. Jean-Charles de Castelbajac's "Romantic Portrait" plates are decorated with the busts of four major 19th century French writers. The caption - "This is not the plate used by Charles Baudelaire" adds a hip surrealistic tone.

    5.5 designers have revised our classics with the same panache. Their white and gold cups made by a porcelain factory in Limoges are not to be taken seriously. They've put the handles in all sorts of funny places and even on the inside !

    Artist Pierre Blanc is famous for his heavy metal decor tuning ceramics. His grandmother plates with their floral patterns and gold edges are decorated with photos of wrestlers, lady cops and sneakers. Funny kitsch to collect and...put on the walls.

    And yes, the wall plate has made a big comeback. Piero Fornasetti's designs from the 1950s have never been so fashionable. His 300 versions of his icon Lina Cavalieri, singer and the centrepiece of his Plates , can now be found in the trendiest interiors. The plate has become a highly appreciated medium of expression for graphic artists and designers today, including Ich&Kar, Matali Crasset and Antoine+Manuel.

    Paola Navone, was the talk of the Milan decoration fair in April 2009 with her "Ephemeral Restaurant", an impressiev 10-metre high wall of 5,000 painted Plates .

    So may be we could do the same thing and decorate our white Plates with stickers and paint?

    Gien was founded in 1821 by Thomas Hall, and Englishman who wanted to introduce fine English earthenware manufacturing techniques in France. Production first began with functional tableware, then went on to make fancier dinnerware, decorative pieces and tableware emblazoned with notable families' coats of arms. The factory works non-stop on improving quality and developing artistic creativity. By following this philosophy, Gien has produced exceptional pieces, which it has presented at the various Universal Exhibitions from 1855 to 1900.

    In the 20th Century, in spite of wars and other crises, modernization and creation continue.
    Today, Gien is both the number one producer of the highest quality earthenware in France, and a top-selling company both at the national and international levels. Its product lines are highly unique and distinguish themselves from other pottery with rich, refined and varied shapes and styles. Louis Grandchamp has headed the Gien Factory since January 2002.

    Tables d'exception by M. Listri


    Festive tables, on which each item could be a museum piece, rub shoulders with the rustic tables of yesteryear, proud of their rural simplicity and authenticity, illustrated by the tables of artists, designers, collectors, aesthetes and original thinkers who delight in the unusual and love good food and living, a little like Alexander Dumas and his three musketeers. Some have a taste for surprise, others for charm, still others for invention, extravagance or simply harmony with the surrounding architecture and decoration.
    Whether sumptuous, sophisticated or bare, exotic or traditional, severe or joyful, a table setting always reflects someone&rsquos idea, know-how or imagination, from which readers can draw inspiration to produce their dream table in their own home.

    « Table d&rsquoexception » de Massimo Listri & Cristina Acidini Luchinat, Ed. Citadelles & Mazenod, 2008, 184 p.
