Constance Bernardaud: The Brand’s Timeless Classic

For centuries, the French house has maintained its status as a benchmark for high-end place settings, thanks to its legendary Limoges porcelain but also to the distinctive ability to create patterns and decorations that strike a delicate balance between classic luxury and modern design, turning tableware into art.

No wonder their pieces have found their way onto the tables of monarchs and Michelin-starred culinary institutions, while also becoming treasured pieces for sophisticated social dinners and those who appreciate the art de vivre.

The Constance by Bernardaud is absolutely the brand’s most recognizable dinnerware collection — it was, is, and will remain its icon. It captures the inspiration of Napoleon Bonaparte’s grand era, with its distinctive atmosphere, sense of ceremony, and timeless luxury, all revealed through detailed decoration, a unique malachite green shade, and gold detailing.

Decorative Details

Constance Bernardaud fine china draws attention with its rich green colors, complemented by subtle touches of berry tones and symmetrical painted artwork with realistic acorns, along with detailed oak and laurel foliage. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, these signs traditionally signify power, endurance, harmony, and wealth. To create this level of luxury tableware, manufactura combines several intricate techniques: a high-resolution silk-screen decal forms the base, while master painters hand-finish and polish the key details and 24-karat gold accents.

The brand has expanded the color palette of its famous pattern with a new yellow version, the Bernardaud Constance Jaune collection, which brings even more refinement and beautiful aesthetics to the tableware.

Overview of the Bernardaud Constance China Collection

The Bernardaud offers different options for sale. You can select complete porcelain tableware sets, like the basic set, breakfast set, or grand dinner set. If you prefer to mix and match or build your own set over time, you can also buy single items separately:

• Dinnerware for dining: serving plates, dinner plates in various sizes, deep soup plates, dessert plates, bread and butter plates, and additional pieces such as a covered soup tureen, gravy boat with stand, round and deep salad bowls, and rice bowls.
• Serving pieces: platters in different sizes and shapes, serving bowls, and round bowls for side dishes.
• Tea sets for 6 or 12: teapot, teacups with saucers, sugar bowl, and creamer.
• Coffee set: coffee pot, espresso and demitasse cups with saucers.
• Additional serving pieces designed for different dishes.

Dinnerware Applications

Whether you want to create a romantic dinner on a terrace overlooking a flower garden, put together a conceptual table setting for a formal dinner, or create an elegant brunch setup, Bernardaud Constance china is perfect for all kinds of scenarios.

The exclusive design and color scheme allow you to adapt the dinnerware to culinary concepts of any complexity. It provides a beautiful setting for tuna steak, Italian truffle pasta, and refined French desserts. Thanks to its contrasting background, colorful dishes from Eastern cuisines also look especially striking on it. And on an ordinary Sunday morning, these plates can turn even the cottage cheese pancakes or croissants into a five-star hotel breakfast.

Shop these pieces for classic, neoclassical, and currently popular old money or quiet luxury aesthetics to create a truly striking tablescape.

How to Mix and Match

The refined character of this dinnerware leaves plenty of room for creative table styling, from refined eclecticism to richly layered mix-and-match arrangements. Within the range, Bernardaud Constance green can be paired with the minimalist white porcelain of Louvre or the graphic patterns of the Ecume. For more layered, couture-inspired tablescapes, we recommend combining it with pieces featuring lush floral designs, such as the Raynaud Verdures. And for a more intricate take on classic style, vintage Haviland pieces with delicate gold decoration can create a truly beautiful combination.
