This set would make a superb addition to any collection by appreciators of French pottery.
More about Atelier Thierry et Chantal Robert:
Thierry Robert, born in 1933, and Chantel Robert (née Flandrin), born in 1936, both followed art professions in Paris at the start of their careers. In 1972, Thierry Robert was a stoneware potter in Poncé, France, in the Loire Valley, and purchased a closed eighteenth century paper mill and restored the buildings to create the Paillard Artisanal Center (Les grès du Loir) with his wife Chantal until 1999. For more than 30 years, they were an important driving force in the artisanal pottery scene.
