Whether you are rustling up a light snack or painstakingly preparing a five-course dinner, sharing meals with those you care about is one of life’s great pleasures. Our beautiful range of Pillivuyt dinnerware will bring a sense of style and sophistication to your dining table. Whether you are putting together lunch for the family, preparing a formal dinner for an intimate group of friends or creating an al fresco summer buffet, Williams-Sonoma the right plates, bowls and serving accessories for you. French company, Pillivuyt, has been designing and producing fine tableware since 1818. These charming products are as perfect for snacks and nibbles as they are for plated dinners.

The Pillivuyt Basketweave range takes its inspiration from everyday objects that were found around French farms in days gone by. Willow gathering baskets were used in kitchen gardens to collect flowers and vegetables. Pillivuyt has used the patterns found on those charming traditional pieces as the basis for the design of this collection. A single artisan hand carved the molds to ensure that the pattern was consistent. These crisp porcelain plates and bowls are high-fired, and are suitable for casual lunches and formal dinners alike. As you would expect from Pillivuyt, the dinnerware is durable as well as stunning. It is microwavable, and oven- and dishwasher-safe.

Featuring a classic design with a slim rim and a smooth form, Pillivuyt Coupe Porcelain is a sleek yet durable collection. The plates and bowls are produced using a special combination of clays that creates the perfect partnership of fragility and strength. It is the simplicity of the design that makes these items such a chic addition to your meal presentation. There is a vast range of dinnerware to select from, including buffet plates, bread and butter plates, mugs and pasta bowls. As delightful as dining is, it can be a little messy at times. Make sure that your guests are prepared with a patterned or plain napkin. Complete the look with a luxurious napkin ring.

If you want to add an extra special touch of style to your luncheon and dining events, try some Pillivuyt Queen Anne Porcelain. This beautiful collection features special scalloped festonné rims and brilliant white glaze that will make your culinary concoctions zing. Envisage a juicy steak or fine slice of fish delivered straight from the grill or oven, then served up on a crisp piece of glimmering porcelain. Scoop some freshly prepared coleslaw from a salad bowl and tuck in with family and friends. For an extra touch of elegance, place your dinnerware on one of our attractive place mats. Of course, you’ll need to wash down your meal with a nice glass of wine or a chilled soft drink. Don’t compromise on style, we offer a fantastic range of coloured and clear indoor and outdoor glassware.
