Hermes produces a range of porcelain dinnerware and tableware under its own brand, separate from its subsidiaries Puiforcat and Saint-Louis. The Hermes tableware division was launched in 1984 and is manufactured in collaboration with established European porcelain factories. Each collection reflects the design language of the house, drawing from Hermes' silk scarf patterns, equestrian heritage, and artistic collaborations. The tableware is produced in Limoges porcelain, maintaining the standards of French porcelain craftsmanship.
Principal dinnerware collections include Mosaique au 24 (featuring 24-karat gold geometric patterns), Cheval d'Orient (depicting equestrian scenes inspired by Persian miniatures), Passifolia (a botanical design launched in 2020), and Bleus d'Ailleurs (blue and white Chinese-influenced motifs). Each collection is designed by the Hermes creative studio and typically features hand-applied decoration including gilding, transfer printing, and hand-painted elements. Hermes also produces porcelain tea and coffee services, ashtrays, change trays, and decorative objects.
Hermes tableware is sold exclusively through Hermes boutiques and the Hermes website. The brand does not wholesale to department stores for its tableware line. Individual dinner plates typically range from $135 to $500 depending on the collection and decoration complexity. Complete table settings for formal dining can reach several thousand dollars. Hermes positions its tableware as an extension of its broader luxury lifestyle offering, alongside leather goods, silk, and ready-to-wear, targeting clients who seek a fully integrated Hermes aesthetic across their home and personal accessories.
