Care Instructions: East Fork pottery is built for daily use—it's food-safe, non-toxic and made to last. The Matisse Collection merges art with function—use it as everyday dinnerware or display it as decorative wall hangings.

To prolong the life of your Matisse Collection pieces, we recommend hand-washing and avoiding the microwave and oven.

With constant use, plates and bowls might accumulate mild cutlery marks. These can be buffed off with warm water and scouring powder such as Bar Keeper’s Friend.

Victoria ★★★★★

The cut-outs from La Perruche et la sirène look even more vivid in person, and the four plates together tell the story beautifully. I’ve already used them for two afternoon teas and they’re sturdy enough for daily stacking, which was a nice surprise.

Timothy L. ★★★★★

Every time I set the table with these, guests ask where they’re from. The Matisse cut-outs feel like little pieces of the original artwork, and the plate shape shows off each one perfectly. I’ve already used them for a birthday brunch and they clean up beautifully.

Leo ★★★★★

The colors on these plates are so vivid they almost glow on the table—those Matisse cut-outs really pop against the white ceramic. Each piece feels substantial in hand, and the set makes a simple cake look like gallery art.
