HOW TO ORDER

To begin your porcelain journey, please contact one of de Gournay’s global showrooms, where our team will be delighted to assist you.

In the first stage of the order process, de Gournay prepare scale colour design drawings of each porcelain piece being ordered to demonstrate the location of pattern on each shape and to show the effect of any design changes specified. These drawings are sent to the client for comment and, if necessary, then reworked and re-presented until approved for production. A typical set of design drawings is illustrated below for one place setting featuring the large dinner plate, salad plate, soup bowl, dessert plate, dessert bowl and side plate. Typical custom changes include adjustments to the rim colours, omissions of part of the design and the incorporation of armorials, monograms or personalised motifs.

Once the design of the dinner service is approved and the order placed, de Gournay will produce as many sample pieces as required to approve custom colour changes, specific colour requests, the glaze colour and the finish chosen before starting work on crafting the service itself. de Gournay’s expertise allows clients to specify a range of finish options to achieve either a contemporary or a convincing antique feel or any option between these two. A typical service might take 16 weeks to decorate once the design is agreed upon.
