Puiforcat Cercle d'Argent porcelain - from bowl to bread

This dinnerware is made from

hard Porcelain which is composed from kaolin, feldspar and quartz. Cercle d'Argent is finished with a shiny glaze. The avantgarde dinnerware has only some additional parts - from bowl to bread plate, from bowl to underplate.

This family cutler, founded

in Paris in 1820 by Emile Puiforcat and his two cousins, owes most of its renown to Jean Puiforcat, from the fourth generation of the family, who was to write the most beautiful pages of its history almost a century later, and would establish the company in the avant-garde of modern silverwork.

Driven by his father, Louis-Victor

Puiforcat, the company began evolving towards the high-end of the silversmith’s trade in the late nineteenth century, recreating eighteenth-century masterpieces from his collection that are now exhibited at the Louvre museum in Paris. His son Jean was named a master silversmith in 1920.
