Embark on a culinary journey of discovery with the L’Objet Grand Tour Soup Plate. At Bering’s, we have a profound respect for pieces that bridge the gap between historic artistry and modern luxury, and the Grand Tour collection is a masterclass in storytelling. Inspired by the 18th and 19th-century journeys of cultured travelers across Europe, this collection pays homage to the treasures and botanical studies they gathered along the way. Each plate is a celebration of the legendary pietra dura technique—the ancient art of stone inlay—reinterpreted here with exquisite, layered porcelain craftsmanship.
The allure of the Grand Tour Soup Plate lies in its remarkable visual depth. We know our customers value detail that reveals itself over time; the rich botanical motifs are built using a specialized multi-layer decal technique that mimics the dimensional look of semi-precious stones like jade, carnelian, and lapis. Hand-finished with radiant 24K gold accents on fine Portuguese porcelain, this soup plate provides a sculptural frame for everything from a delicate consommé to a vibrant spring bisque. It is a piece designed for the host who views the table as a narrative space, reflecting the same spirit of curiosity and refinement we’ve championed at Bering’s since 1940.
Why you’ll love it:
- Pietra Dura Inspiration: Features intricate botanical designs inspired by historic stone-inlay techniques, offering a jewel-like precision and “inlaid” appearance.
- Luminous 24K Gold Accents: Each piece is meticulously hand-applied with 24-karat gold, adding a warm, refined radiance to your table setting.
- Exceptional Portuguese Porcelain: Crafted from high-quality porcelain known for its luminous clarity, strength, and elegant weight.
- Sophisticated Layering: The 7.5-inch diameter and deep well make it an ideal centerpiece for layered place settings, especially when paired with gold-toned flatware.
The Grand Tour Soup Plate is more than just dinnerware; it is a modern heirloom that captures a sense of wonder and worldly elegance. We invite you to experience the unparalleled craftsmanship and artistic heritage that makes L’Objet a standout in our curated collection at Bering’s.
