Title: 4 Vintage Pillivuyt French Porcelain Soufflé Dishes Graduated Set
A curated set of four graduated white French porcelain baking dishes, combining classic Pillivuyt culinary porcelain with a large unbranded French soufflé dish attributed to Apilco.
Each dish features a traditional ribbed or pleated exterior and smooth glazed interior. Their straight sides were designed to help soufflés rise evenly, but the dishes are equally useful for gratins, baked desserts, individual casseroles, side dishes and oven-to-table serving.
The pieces come from different periods of French production, as shown by their varied factory marks, proportions and porcelain bodies. Together, they form an attractive collected-over-time set for a French country, farmhouse or bistro-style kitchen.
Included in the set:

Please note that “depuis 1818” means that Pillivuyt has manufactured porcelain since 1818; it is not the production date of the individual dish.
Vintage condition with variations in the porcelain, glaze, factory marks and construction consistent with their different periods of manufacture. The smallest dish has an especially delicate porcelain body and should be handled carefully. Please review all photographs closely for condition and manufacturing details.
