Set of four (4) Vintage Brown & Off White Ceramic Stoneware Snail Plates by SIAL Pottery Quebec Canada | SIAL II Oval Dinner Service
These vintage Sial brown and white ceramic snail plates from the 70's are so lovely! This offer is for a set of four (4) snail plates!
This Quebec manufacturer of stoneware dishes was born in the 1970s in Laval, Quebec. After only a few years of operation, it closed its doors in 1981. The production was mainly very elegant and minimalist stoneware - often associated with the Danish design movement. The potters were Pierre Legault, Gaétan Beaudin and Maurice Savoie.
This was the most extensive design produced by SIAL II. Daniel Congé describes the set as:
"Dinnerware designed by Gaétan Beaudin from the intersection of two ovals. The pieces have a two-tone orange-brown glaze produced by salt spray, to which is added a choice of four complementary shades: white, brown Tenmoku, celadon green and gray, reminiscent of Beaudin's stay in Japan. Pressed or molded with a new ceramic paste made of porcelain 75% and 25% clay, the parts of the service need only one baking period of twenty-four hours at a temperature of 2400 degrees Fahrenheit."
These pieces are in good condition with no chips! There are some signs of use and some defects from the original production (cracks on the bottom and some glaze stains), as expected for pieces of that age (see photos).
They marked “Hors Serie” at the bottom.
These snail plates will be a great addition to your vintage boho tableware collection!
