Set of plates from Grès du Marais, France, circa 1970.

Set of octagonal plates from Grès du Marais dating from 1970. A characterful set with authentic charm, where geometric shapes meet a palette of warm, mineral colours. This set of stoneware plates is appealing due to its original octagonal silhouette, with faceted lines that give it a graphic and unique look. Each piece features a play of nuanced glazes, combining shades of olive green, cream, chocolate brown, and terracotta. The contrasts between the glazed surfaces, dark borders, and natural hues reveal the aesthetic richness of this set. The slight variations in texture and finishing irregularities contribute to its artisanal character and vintage charm. Both decorative and functional, these plates will add an original touch to a characterful table. They pair well with contemporary tableware as well as antique pieces, embodying a wabi-sabi, rustic chic, or mid-century spirit. They can also be repurposed as decorative objects, displayed on a shelf or presented in an accumulation in a boldly styled kitchen. Features: Brand: Grès du Marais. Type: vintage plate set.
