Bernardaud "Aux Oiseaux"
The Bernardaud "Aux Oiseaux" collection celebrates the beauty and whimsy of 16th and 17th-century cabinets of curiosities. Its name, meaning "With the Birds," reflects the artistic inspiration behind the collection, which features intricate depictions of colorful birds perched on stylized golden trees reminiscent of coral—a symbol of rarity and refinement during the Renaissance.
The collection's design showcases vibrant birds rendered in rich, shimmering hues, accented by butterflies and foliage. The raised gold detailing on the delicate Limoges porcelain adds dimension and elegance, while the luminous white background serves as a canvas for the intricate artwork. The harmonious blend of vivid colors and metallic accents creates a sophisticated yet playful aesthetic.
Crafted from fine Limoges porcelain, each piece demonstrates Bernardaud’s commitment to quality and artistry. Renowned for its durability and luminous finish, the porcelain enhances the intricate details and luxurious gold embellishments, making every item a work of art.
The "Aux Oiseaux" collection includes a variety of tableware and serving pieces, such as ultra-flat service plates (31 cm), dinner plates (27 cm), salad plates (21.5 cm), bread and butter plates (16 cm), and coupe soup plates (19 cm). Decorative and functional serving items include a deep salad bowl (27 cm diameter), a large coupe plate (36 cm), relish dishes, and oval platters. For tea and coffee enthusiasts, the collection offers teacups, espresso cups, creamers, and sugar bowls, along with gift sets that showcase the collection's artistry.
