An enchanted farmhouse in the French countryside, delightfully portrayed in Jana Kolpen's book
The Secrets of Pistoulet, provides the inspiration for Pfaltzgraff's Pistoulet tableware. The hand-painted collection layers together an assortment of romantic rustic motifs, from fleur-de-lis and polka dots to sunflowers and checkerboards to unfurling vines and ripe fruit. Sun-drenched shades of yellow, red, green, and blue create a warm palette, while delicate banded borders and scalloped edges unite the set in a casually coordinated style. With or without the book, the pattern tells a story with fairytale charm.
This 20-piece dinnerware set offers an abundant start to a full collection with service for four. Each five-piece place setting includes a 10-3/4-inch dinner plate, a 9-inch salad plate, a 28-ounce soup/cereal bowl, an 8-ounce dessert bowl, and a 14-ounce mug. Complete the look with the whimsical accessories or mix in pieces from the sister Pistoulet Blue series for an even richer medley of colors and patterns. Crafted of durable stoneware, the set is dishwasher-, oven-, freezer-, and microwave-safe. Pfaltzgraff offers a five-year warranty against defects and replaces pieces individually. --Kara Karll
