French porcelain countertops are a premium surface material fabricated in France from a porcelain-like composite that develops a distinctive hairline cracking pattern reminiscent of fine old china. In the Santa Barbara estate dry bar, Lincoln Rogers explains that these countertops were custom-ordered from a French workshop and shipped overseas specifically for this project. Because the material cannot be cut after fabrication, every measurement had to be exact before the slabs left France. Wood templates were built on-site and shipped to the fabricator so the finished pieces would fit precisely. The result is a one-of-a-kind countertop surface with the look and feel of antique porcelain.
