Fayencez-vous! #3 - La conférence

In this age of table stands and single plates, it's easy to forget the 77-piece dinner service, where flat and soup plates were joined by plates for snails, oysters and asparagus... The art of entertaining also called for moka cups, coffee cups and tea cups... whereas today's mugs have universal uses. But let's not forget that ceramic manufacturers reigned over the art of food packaging for centuries, creating a multitude of original containers for storing salt, oil, eggs, mustard and other condiments. Delving into these unique items means rediscovering both the history of tableware and that of the factories that imaginatively produced them.
