Porcelain Poetry by Raynaud – The Mazurka Collection
Make your table dance with the Mazurka dinnerware collection by Raynaud. Reimagining the classic Louis Quinze style for the contemporary dining experience, the collection combines classically scalloped shapes, fine gold rims, and vibrant colours that can be mixed and matched harmoniously with other Raynaud tableware patterns. Embrace the elegance and joie de vivre of the Rococo era with passionately handcrafted china from Limoges, the French capital of porcelain.
Classic Elegance in Modern Colours – The Mazurka Collection in Detail
The Mazurka tableware range finds its roots in the mid-18th century, when French porcelain craftsmanship experienced its first golden age under King Louis XV. Its rhythmically flowing edges echo the iconic seashell ornaments known as “rocaille”, which gave the Rococo era its name. While the related Polka collection remains true to the original opulence of the late Baroque style with generous gold borders, the Mazurka collection finds a contemporary balance between slender gold rims and bold colours, offering endless design possibilities.
For the Mazurka collection, Raynaud decorates its delicate Limoges porcelain in three variations:
- All-over patterns on the presentation and bread plates
- Coloured borders and white centres on the dinner plates and deep plates
- Coloured centres and white borders on the dessert plates
In addition to the classic double gold border, a fine gold band between the border and centre adds rhythmic structure and enhances the colour contrasts. White tea and espresso cups with coloured saucers, along with three Petits Fours stands in small, medium, and large sizes, complete the range of elegant tableware.
