Each piece of the Cantine stoneware line is handcrafted by French artisans and offered in soft hues (chalk, clay green, gray oxide or rose buvard) meant to be reminiscent of the French Riviera. Jars Ceramistes describes its dinnerware collection as a “modern interpretation of classic 1950s dinnerware silhouettes.”
