{"product_id":"1930s-french-faience-plates-h-b-c-m-trebeurden-pattern","title":"Antique French Faience Plate Set | HBCM Creil Montereau | Trebeurden Pattern","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ensemble has that relaxed French table feeling where nothing needs to match perfectly, but everything feels like it belongs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52767914754391,"sku":"TWE-023","price":355.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/1930s-french-faience-plates-creil-et-montereau-trebeurden-2.jpg?v=1770764383","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/products\/1930s-french-faience-plates-h-b-c-m-trebeurden-pattern","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
