Offered for sale is a set of 6 cups- pattern" Herbier Rose" and 6 saucers in the pattern "Aurelie Rose or Pink" by the Gien Company of France.  These patterns were made 1993-96.  We have a total of 12 cups and saucers available.  All are in excellent condition-look like they were never used. We bought over 100 pieces of Gien from one estate this week.  Look at the last pic with a full table of Gien-most in Aurelie Rose.  The owner had exquisite taste and lived all over the world-some time in France. She actually chose combinations of the multi motif Aurelie and other Gien patterns at the factory in France for a most interesting table setting for 12 , all in Gien. These are very rare and hard to find-just do an internet search to confirm.  

 

Gien was founded in 1821 by Thomas Hall, and Englishman who wanted to introduce fine English earthenware manufacturing techniques in France. Production first began with functional tableware, and then went on to make fancier dinnerware, decorative pieces and tableware emblazoned with notable families' coats of arms.

Today, Gien is both the number one producer of the highest quality earthenware in France, and a top-selling company both at the national and international levels. Its product lines are highly unique and distinguish themselves from other faience-earthenware with rich, refined and varied shapes and styles.
