Fondue Plates and Bowl Set by Gien, Complete Vintage French Fondue Service

This complete French vintage fondue dinner service by Gien is a truly special find. While Gien fondue plates occasionally appear at markets, a complete set like this — including four plates, four small sauce bowls, and one large serving bowl — is rare.

Each piece is a testament to Gien’s renowned craftsmanship. The entire process is carried out by hand, with up to twenty artisans involved from moulding and firing to painting and glazing. Every detail reflects the care, artistry, and tradition of this iconic French pottery house.

This charming set was purchased from a traditional French brocante market and remains in good vintage condition. There are a few tiny nibbles to the bowls, light wear to the painted decoration, and some fine glaze crazing — all expected signs of age for a set that’s likely 60 years old or more.

Perfect for collectors or for anyone who loves to host with French flair, this Gien fondue service brings warmth, history, and authentic craftsmanship to the table.
