Bourg-Joly Malicorne Strasbourg Wreath Hand-Painted Ceramic Oval Serving Dish

€940
Patterned displays don’t always feature in Bourg-Joly Malicorne’s collections, but when they do, the results are quite something. For example, each berry and frond in the Strasbourg Wreath series is painted free hand on the raw enamel, using little else other than oxide-based colours, a brush and copious concentration. Due to this centuries-old technique, each piece differs slightly to reflect the unique personality of the maker’s hand.

Meet the Maker:

Bourg-Joly Malicorne

Jean Loiseau founded Bourg-Joly Malicorne in 1747 in the heart of the Sarthe Valley, France, making it the oldest earthenware manufacturer in the region. Over time, its savoir-fare has been handed through the generations, resulting in centuries-old processes that craftspeople continue to honour today. Their earthenware is made from a precise recipe – clay, sand and minerals – that undergoes a meticulous purifying process. Each piece is calibrated, moulded, turned, trimmed, glazed and fired (twice) to extreme temperatures. Look out for lace-inspired openwork applied with a scalpel and free-hand painting with a watercolour quality.
