With Interior Designer Jeffrey Bilhuber, de Gournay are proud to launch a new service of Porcelain dinnerware: designed by Jeffrey and created by hand in our Jingdezhen studio – the historic origin of Imperial Chinese ceramics.
11" Dinner Plates
‘Alchemy’ employs a vivid botanical motif trailed with molten Gold – an aesthetic meditation on the technical complexities of conjuring the medium from the white heat of the kiln. Referencing the painterly beauty of Dutch Still Life Florals, a vivid bouquet of Tulips and wildflowers suspended against a gilded spool adorn a full set of 35 individual pieces.
9" Soup Bowl
6.5" Side Plates
Made entirely by hand in de Gournay’s own studios then painted by their artists, the design of each piece is unique without repeat. Services are numbered in a limited edition and clients are encouraged to make custom changes guaranteeing each is original to them.

The project presents de Gournay’s well established skills in a contemporary context, combining the beauty of the craft and Jeffrey’s engaging talents across a series turned, finished and painted by hand.
20" Octagonal Platter
A tour de force of decorative artistry, ‘Alchemy’ evokes the Imperial kiln work of dynastic China in a context of modern elegance and application.
