Les Pivoines frames watercolor-like peony blooms in a delicate celadon green lattice on Limoges porcelain. Introduced around 1984, it was the first fine china from Hermès, the legendary French house. Read its story.

Hermès began in Paris in 1837 as a maker of harnesses and equipment for horses, and only later grew into the fashion and silk it is known for. For its first table service, the house is said to have turned to artisans in Limoges, the French region famed for its porcelain. Here their hands set pink peonies inside a precise lattice, each piece handcrafted.
At heart, Les Pivoines is quiet luxury in the French manner. Its graceful floral detailing pairs classic French elegance with a contemporary sophistication, a blend that made the pattern a landmark in the Maison's tableware.
The porcelain keeps its luster, and the floral motifs remain vibrant, the peonies still fresh in their pink. Laid out from dinner to dessert, the set unfolds like a garden in full bloom.
