Arcadia gold

The French manufacturer Baccarat has been world-famous since 1764 for its masterpiece creations made from premium crystal glass. For over a century and a half, this stream has remained the main focus of the production process. 

But in 2024, the brand is starting a new chapter in its history by launching its first collection of Limoges porcelain, named Arcadia Gold. 

By this upgrade, Baccarat has proven its ability to honor the traditions of the manufactory while evolving, exploring new horizons, and showcasing the talent of its artisans across various materials.

Innovations: The Launch of Baccarat Limoges Porcelain Production

France has always been the birthplace of exquisite craftsmanship, producing the finest cutlery, decor, accessories, and tableware. The Limoges porcelain takes a special place on this list because only this kaolin clay can achieve the perfect whiteness, delicate shapes, and durability needed for fine tableware. 

That is exactly what Baccarat chose to focus on, as part of a diversification strategy to expand its product range and offer clients exquisite porcelain pieces with its signature design.

The Arcadia Gold Service

The debut tableware collection for the Baccarat brand became the exquisite Arcadia Gold. The company's artisans poured their talent and craftsmanship into the production and design of these artistic pieces, blending tradition with innovation. 

The set includes four main plates for serving dishes (dinner, dessert, appetizer, and saucer) and one tumbler for basic drinks. For lovers of fine tableware, this is a great opportunity to create a personalized set with the exact number of pieces needed.

Pattern

The design of the plates and glasses is not random, as it carries a special meaning: the pattern reflects the facade of the Baccarat manufactory building, symbolizing the brand itself, its significance, and its strong foundation. 

The main ornament features arched window elements. Elegant illustrated arches are placed along the edges of the dessert plates and across the surface of the glasses. The other pieces are decorated with delicate stained-glass details, carefully arranged with precision and perfect geometric balance. The idea of the Arcadia set is to bring traditional symmetry and elegant accents onto the crisp white porcelain base.

Color Palette

The Arcadia Gold collection showcases the exquisite fusion of two luxury shades—gold and platinum. The finest metallic lines are carefully applied by hand across the surface of each piece, allowing the white porcelain to shine through and create a unique balance of simplicity and luxury. 

The plates and cups from the golden set are perfect for both special celebrations and everyday meals. They are designed to serve a variety of dishes and can even go through the dishwasher without any issues. 

By the way, the parallel collection Arcadia Red is just as versatile, elegant, and practical. It features a bolder color palette with a rich red hue and gold rims.

Pairing with Other Tableware

Thanks to its neutral palette with a touch of luxury, classic smooth shapes, and symmetrical minimalistic artistic details, the gold and platinum Arcadia set pairs beautifully with a wide range of tableware items. Feel free to combine and match the plates with other Baccarat articles, like Mille Nuits flutes in various colors or, for example, Robbe & Berking silver-plated Avenue cutlery. 

Experiment and mix different pieces to enhance functionality or add more richness and brilliance to your table setting.

Relevance of the Collection

Like famous crystal pieces, the Baccarat Limoges porcelain goes beyond the dining table. The elegance and style make it perfect not only for serving food but also as a decorative element in your interior. For example, they can serve as radiant accents in your display cabinet or add a touch of elegance to your yacht’s interior. Whether as a gift that showcases both taste and practicality or as a collector’s item, the Arcadia collection is a perfect fit.
