Birds of a feather.
A little bird told us you may fancy these dishes—wanna hear why? For starters, they’re crafted in France’s Loire Valley, passing through the hands of 30 highly-skilled artisans who take them from local clay to full-on masterpieces. They also just so happen to be faience, a special type of tin-glazed dinnerware known for its stunning designs. And then there’re the two little chirpers sitting in that tree, sure to add a little spring to your tabletop. Oh, and here’s a little something extra: These gems get their rich green details from a signature firing process (which has the added benefit of making these durable enough for your every day).
