16-piece Earthenware Fish Serving Set By Procéram, Aubagne.

16-piece earthenware fish serving set by Procéram, Aubagne.

This former flagship of Aubagne ceramics was founded in 1908 under the name “Société des Faïenceries d’Aubagne ” (S.F.A.). Specializing in tableware and tiles, the S.F.A., driven by constant innovation, quickly established itself as one of the largest local producers. Briefly renamed Faïencerie Nouvelle de Provence between 1929 and 1938, it would go down in history under the name Procéram beginning in 1939 and ceased operations in 1977.

Hand-painted set featuring, on an anise-green earthenware background, fish and shellfish in vivid, lifelike colors.

Designed by the Cérel studio for Procéram in the 1950s.

It consists of 12 soup plates, each featuring a different fish design with the fish’s name written on the back, a soup tureen, an oval serving dish, and a pair of sauce boats on a foot.

Plate diameter: 24 cm.

Serving dish: 59 cm by 24 cm.

Soup tureen: 30 cm by 10 cm.

Gravy boats: 18 cm by 8 cm.

Beautiful glazed and enameled finish throughout the set.

The soup tureen is very beautiful with its fish designs.

The set is in good condition; the colors are very vibrant, with a micro-chip on one sauceboat that’s almost invisible and in no way detracts from the charm of the design!!!
