J.L Coquet: Paris Metallic Chinaware

Jean Louis Coquet is a well-known manufacturer of one-of-a-kind chinaware. J.L. Coquet came from the Limoges, France, like many great producers of porcelain. He garnered inspiration from all around him, including both the classic Limoges traditions and the French New Wave culture, in order to create his fabulous china. This is very obvious when one looks at his ‘Paris Metal’ dinnerware.

The Paris Metal collection by J.L. Coquet exhibit beautiful contemporary aesthetics. The china is printed with an innovative yet classic design that is reminiscent of a wrought iron railing which could easily be found on the streets of Paris. The pattern “pops” off the pristine white china for an eye catching spectacular on any table. If you love this pattern, then also check out the similar patterns: Paris Noir and Paris Sienne.
