Gien "Provence"
The Provence collection by Gien, designed by Isabelle Barthel, offers a vibrant and sensory journey into the heart of Provence, as famously depicted by Marcel Pagnol. This collection immerses you in the lively and colorful atmosphere of local markets, the sweet scent of lavender fields, the subtle smell of citrus fruits, and the earthy aroma of olive groves. The designs also capture the tranquil beauty of the coves and landscapes of the region, bringing the essence of Provence directly to your table. The Provence collection includes a wide range of tableware and serving pieces, such as dinner plates, dessert plates, serving platters, cups, pitchers, and baking dishes. Each piece is adorned with detailed illustrations that vividly portray the abundance of Provençal life. The artworks feature a harmonious blend of finely drawn lines and soft color gradients, showcasing lush greenery, ripe fruits, and vibrant flowers. These scenes, filled with market stalls brimming with fresh produce and picturesque village streets, create a charming visual narrative that brings the charm and warmth of Provence to your culinary experience. Crafted from Gien's characteristic faience, a fine earthenware material, the Provence collection combines beauty with durability. The faience ensures that each piece is not only visually appealing but also sturdy enough for daily use. Each piece of the Provence collection is designed to evoke the vibrant energy and sensory pleasures of Provence, making every meal a celebration of the rich culture and natural beauty of the region.
