Deep plates in Puisaye stoneware by Jean-Pierre Prud'homme

Here is a set of 11 soup plates, with a simple and very elegant shape, made of Puisaye stoneware, slightly pyrite-rich, with a wonderful glaze blending soft and comforting tones: beige, caramel, chocolate... A material and colors typical of the 1970s. Beautiful handcrafted work by the potter Jean-Pierre Prud'homme. They are not signed because they are part of a much larger set (dinner plates, dessert plates, cups, platters, salad bowl, tureen, tray, etc.) that I recently found and will be offering here (keep an eye on my shop if you are looking for other pieces; some are already for sale here). Indeed, Jean-Pierre Prud'homme did not sign all his pieces when they were part of a set: here, the larger pieces are signed, along with a few smaller ones. Jean-Pierre Prud'homme and his wife founded a pottery workshop in 1971 in Monnaie, working with clay from the Nièvre region (Puisaye stoneware). This workshop still exists today, run by his son Benoît, who took over in the 1990s and 2000s and also creates beautiful ceramics. These plates date from the 1970s and are all in perfect condition, without a single crack, chip, or even a tiny chip. They measure 19 cm in diameter and 3.5 cm in height at the rim, and each weighs over 500g. I will not offer Selency's integrated shipping option here, as I want the flexibility to ship them in two packages if necessary for safe delivery.
