Painterly Porcelain Plates from Coté Pierre

February 8, 2012

French designer Mathilde Labrouche takes advantage of the tactile appeal of brush strokes with her line of painted plates.

These plates, featuring one single thick brushstroke of vibrant color, were conceived by Labrouche, a designer and antiques dealer (she runs a design firm located between Bordeaux and Cognac, which we previously covered in Antiques & Vintage: Coté Pierre). She began by making the porcelain dishes by hand, painting and firing them at home; they're now finished to her specifications in Limoges.

We love many things about her design: the bristles of the paintbrush that so clearly leave their mark, the high-gloss sheen of the finish, and the artist's whimsical notion of mixing dishes and meals to create art. As Labrouche says, "I want people to create a composition between their food and the plate—like a painting."
