The mid-century French cheese plate from Orfinox, circa 1960s, exemplifies utilitarian ceramics where the design sensibility of the era meets the conviviality of serving rituals. Made of ceramic with a uniform, glossy glaze, it is rendered in a warm light yellow-beige shade highlighted by caramel-brown accents. The plate’s surface features raised cheese shapes—a Swiss wedge, a rectangular slice, and a round wheel—each softly emerging amidst undulating lines that imitate the texture of a wooden board. A square form with rounded corners and a centrally placed, triangular gold-toned metal handle (likely brass) lend the piece a distinctly retro flair and make handling convenient. Its harmonious palette and balanced proportions establish it as a noticeable element on any table. The item is in excellent vintage condition with a consistent glaze, no signs of damage, and only minimal traces of use. This plate subtly tells the story of 1960s French dining, when everyday life and decorative intentions merged in objects marked by lightness and optimism. The relief motifs seem to beckon one to sample cheeses, while the warm coloration conjures images of afternoon gatherings with wine and conversation. The metal handle expresses the voice of mid-century modernism: utility becomes a detail of note, and simplicity turns ornamental. Through this vessel, you sense an era when design’s aim was to add an effortless grace to daily rituals—without pretense. The plate can be combined with a wooden tabletop or linen napkin to enhance its color and texture, as well as with milky glassware or simple wine glasses to create a relaxed mid-century composition. It works well in dining spaces styled in a vintage spirit or as a standout accent within a contemporary interior with retro features. Pairing it with brass details—such as cutlery or
