46-pieces French Faience Dinner Service, "cléry" By Moustiers

This charming French earthenware dinner service by Cléry showcases a delicate and poetic hand-painted decoration, typical of refined mid-20th century French tableware. Each piece features a beautifully rendered bird in flight, highlighted with vibrant tones of blue, green, ochre, and soft pink, surrounded by light floral garlands and scrolling foliage. The gently scalloped edges and fine blue line accents add an elegant rhythm to the ensemble, making it both decorative and highly usable.

Signed “Cléry – hand painted – France” on the reverse, the service reflects traditional craftsmanship, with subtle variations in the brushwork that give each piece its own character. The creamy glaze and slightly crackled patina in places contribute to its authentic vintage charm. The set is impressively complete, offering a harmonious table setting from everyday meals to more formal gatherings.

In very good overall condition, with light signs of age consistent with use, this service will appeal to collectors of French faience as well as those looking to create a warm, inviting, and characterful table. A rare opportunity to acquire a cohesive and decorative ensemble with strong visual identity.
