Rivage Collection

Rivage brings together a family of objects united by their tones: vases, a candlestick, stems and bouquets designed in the same palette of browns, sands and off-whites. The whole set reads at a single glance on a console or a table.

One palette, several families

Rivage's coherence comes not from its shapes but from its hues. The 30 cm vase, the 20 cm vase and the 16 cm candlestick share the same color range and mix effortlessly. The pampas bouquets, the daisies and the thistle carry the palette into the botanical.

The artisan's hand shows

Hand-painted ceramics never produce the same result twice. The glaze thickens here, lightens there, and the brushstroke remains visible in raking light. It is this irregularity that sets a handcrafted piece apart from a mass-molded object.

Building a composition on a console table

Work in odd numbers and with contrasting heights: the 30 cm vase at the back, the 20 cm one in front of it, the 16 cm candlestick in the foreground. Slip a 50 cm thistle stem into the tallest, and leave the other two pieces bare. A composition that breathes is better than a crowded console.

Frequently asked questions

Which candle for the Rivage candlestick?

A taper candle, with a thin wick and a straight body. Rustic candles, with their raw finish, play on the same material feel as the ceramic.

Are two Rivage pieces really different?

Yes, in the details: the hue, the thickness of the glaze and the brush mark vary from one object to another. The family itself remains instantly recognizable.

How do I care for hand-painted ceramics?

A soft, barely damp cloth, then dry immediately. Avoid abrasive sponges and the dishwasher, which damage matte finishes and painted decorations.
