$
Rare vintage fish-shaped plates crafted from delicate pink faience with hand-painted details, part of the iconic “Melusine France” line by the MBFA Pornic manufacture. Such plates were popular in the mid-20th century along the Atlantic coast of France, primarily used for serving fish dishes.
In a contemporary context, they are perfectly suited for serving hot dishes, appetizers, and breakfasts.
About MBFA Pornic:
The company was founded in the 1940s in the town of Pornic, in the Pays de la Loire region. It specialized in faience, blending traditional French craftsmanship with post-war modernism.
The “Melusine France” line was created in the 1950s as an homage to the myth of Melusine and the region’s maritime heritage. Items from this series were distinguished by their forms of marine animals and mollusks, botanical ornaments, and utilitarian elegance.
The Legend of Melusine:
Melusine is a fairy from European legends, daughter of the King of Scotland, cursed to transform into a half-woman, half-fish every weekend.
P.S. If Melusine truly emerges from the ocean, she will demand these plates back. Be quick to become their new guardian.
