The Pillivuyt Basketweave range takes its inspiration from everyday objects that were found around French farms in days gone by. Willow gathering baskets were used in kitchen gardens to collect flowers and vegetables. Pillivuyt has used the patterns found on those charming traditional pieces as the basis for the design of this collection. A single artisan hand carved the molds to ensure that the pattern was consistent. These crisp porcelain plates and bowls are high-fired, and are suitable for casual lunches and formal dinners alike. As you would expect from Pillivuyt, the dinnerware is durable as well as stunning. It is microwavable, and oven- and dishwasher-safe.

There is a vast range of dinnerware to select from, including buffet plates, bread and butter plates, mugs and pasta bowls. As delightful as dining is, it can be a little messy at times. Make sure that your guests are prepared with a patterned or plain napkin. Complete the look with a luxurious napkin ring.
