Lot 396: A comprehensive collection of white glazed porcelain culinary dinnerware and ovenware in the French style

This extensive collection of utilitarian ceramic dinnerware and ovenware is crafted from heavy-bodied white porcelain or stoneware, characteristic of professional French culinary ware such as that produced by Apilco or Pillivuyt. The pieces feature a high-gloss cream-coloured glaze and a minimalist, modern aesthetic. The grouping comprises a diverse range of forms including multiple stacks of circular dinner and side plates, several cylindrical ramekins or custard cups, a round covered tureen or casserole dish with a fitted knobbed lid, and various shallow baking dishes featuring decorative fluted or scalloped rims. Also included are several double-handled soup bowls or crocks. The construction is notably thick-walled, designed for durability and oven-to-table use. No manufacturer marks are visible in the current arrangement. Dimensions variable.
