Antique French Faience Plate Set | HBCM Creil Montereau | Trebeurden Pattern
This antique French faience plate set has a wonderful playfulness and warmth. Eight pieces have stayed together: four dinner plates, two dessert plates, and two coupes sur pied (footed compote dishes). The mix is what makes the set feel so useful. It is not a full dinner service, but it has enough variety to for a simple lunch that feels more considered than ordinary.
The pattern is Trebeurden by HBCM Creil Montereau, named for the coastal village in Brittany. A green and yellow garland of stylized daisies rings each piece, set against a warm cream background. The border has that easy French table feeling: decorative enough to be noticed, but soft enough to work with linen, old silver, clear glass, copper, or other French country pieces.
The set likely dates from between 1920 and 1955, consistent with HBCM production before the closure of Montereau. Each piece is marked Trebeurden underneath, which gives the set a nice sense of continuity. The two footed compote dishes are especially useful because they add height to the table and make the service feel more interesting than plates alone.
The condition tells the story plainly. There is crazing across the pieces, with staining and utensil marks from decades of meals served at a French table. One small glaze loss is visible on an underside. These are not pieces that sat untouched in a cabinet. They were used, washed and stacked... then the cycle repeated itself for decades.
Today, the set would be beautiful for a small lunch, dessert course, fruit service, or as part of a larger collected table. The compotiers could hold pears, grapes, citrus, nuts, or small pastries. The plates could be part of a larger mix-and-match set.
The ensemble has that relaxed French table feeling where nothing needs to match perfectly, but everything feels like it belongs.
