Rare set of 12 Limoges porcelain dessert plates, made by Bernardaud & Cie for Air France in the 1950s. The design, signed by the artist Jean Picart Le Doux (1902–1982), illustrates a stylized sky: moon, stars and comets. This poetic universe reflects the golden age of air travel and French design. These plates were specially designed to accompany meals served on board, at a time when Air France entrusted its tableware to the greatest craftsmen. Technical details: Diameter: approx. 19 cm (dessert size). Design: celestial motif signed Jean Picart Le Doux. Marked on the back: Air France – Bernardaud Limoges – Jean Picart Le Doux. Condition: very good, slight signs of use, slightly different shades of blue. These plates will appeal to Air France collectors, lovers of 1950s design, and vintage tableware enthusiasts.
