Pont Aux Choux

The French porcelain house Raynaud continues to delight its admirers not only with fresh designs and creative ideas but also with comebacks to historic motifs. Not long ago, the brand breathed new life into the iconic Pont Aux Choux collection, beloved since the 18th century. 

The collection takes its name from a historic Parisian porcelain manufactory and captures the classic charm of the time: crisp white forms and delicate reliefs inspired by nature. The current edition is a refined update, thoughtfully adapted by artisans and designers for contemporary dining,  while preserving the key details and elegant porcelain forms. 

Pont Aux Choux by Raynaud: A Modern Take on a Historic Classic

The reissued Pont Aux Choux collection by Raynaud differs from its predecessor primarily in the material used. Here, instead of the old creamware with familiar rice grain texture, you’ll find Raynaud’s refined, thin Limoges porcelain: ultra-thin, crisp white, with a soft gloss and that beautiful light-filtering quality.

In the latest release, the Raynaud design team subtly rebalanced the proportions of Pont Aux Choux, introducing lighter, more adaptable forms while maintaining the essence of the original. The reworked plates and cups exhibit finer, thinner rims and a significantly lighter construction. That’s why this dinnerware set fits seamlessly into a variety of tablescapes, from contemporary minimalist setups for casual dining to intricate, formal arrangements combined with other collections. 

The Pont Aux Choux Raynaud collection has kept its original decoration — delicate branches of blossoming apple trees, that are artfully and discreetly placed on the rims and across the bodies of the porcelain items. The surface on the pieces appears softer, fully tactile, dynamic, and three-dimensional.

Tableware Selection from the Pont Aux Choux Collection

The Limoges porcelain house Raynaud, has positioned the updated Pont Aux Choux collection as a fully functional line, offering a wide range of relevant sizes, essential daily-use plates, serving pieces, and a core tea and coffee set that can be mixed with more decorative or colorful sets.

A key practical advantage of the set, appreciated by any hostess or homemaker, is its compatibility with both dishwashers and microwave ovens.
