4 Bird scene 10″ dinner plates (not flat – about a 1″ depression for liquids). No chips or cracks. Artist Jean Bertholle designed this iconic collection in 1955 at the request of French President, René Coty. This hand-painted service set the tables of presidents staying at the regal chateau of Rambouillet during hunting outings. Each piece is a work of art, capturing the inner world of the deeply wooded Rambouillet forest and its creatures.
