The MBFA Pornic ceramic company is situated in Loire Atlantique, Western France, near Quimper.

The plate is glazed ceramic, and decorated with a sunny graphic pattern in bright yellow and spring green on a crisp white background. The plate has six oyster shell shaped wells, ringed by seaweed, for holding oysters, mussels or scallops, and a larger central well shaped as a lemon for lemons or a dipping sauce. The mold is raised around each well, adding dimension.

Bright and impactful – a great representation of the Mid-Century era of French design.
