A pair of 22.5cm plates from French antique Creil et Montereau, featuring the fresh, translucent white porcelain texture and the graceful indigo daffodils. Pattern name: Narcisses, bleu et blanc (Narcissus, blue and white) - blue and white daffodils... daffodils in blue on a white background. A gentle botanical pattern, delicate and ephemeral... evoking Art Nouveau-esque poetic sensibility. A work with delicacy and elegance. The shading of indigo lines, flower shadows, and leaf shadows are lyrical. The hand-painted style, and my personal feeling, is like a stencil plate template, a painting style that looks like it was colored and drawn with paper cutouts. Not too thick, a refined thickness. Translucent ivory (ceramic) porcelain. The elegant glaze that shines. You will be captivated by the excellent texture. Color tones that blend in with spaces regardless of Japanese or Western style, and with wooden tables and furniture. The following are amateur measurements, so please forgive any errors m(_ _)m Diameter 22.5-22.2cm Height approx. 2.7cm, approx. 3mm Backstamp NARCISSE H.B.C.M. FRANCE One has the additional marking T, stamp D♧ One has the marking D, stamp H♧ [Noticeable Condition] ※ Small protruding ceramic clay, glaze on yellow inclusions (some appear light brown, greige) ※ Marble-like greige on the base ※ Uneven ceramic surface The above are all presumed to be from the manufacturing process. ※ Dark brown and light brown stains on the back of one plate? No cracks or chips. In relatively good condition among the ones I own. In Japan, where uniformity is valued and minor imperfections are not accepted, this would be considered a defective product. However, in France, it is considered a good product without any problems. It does not detract from the artistry or aesthetic value, and I feel there are no problems in use, but please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. For everyday use and parties in spring, summer, autumn, and winter. A work that can be used for both practical and artistic purposes ✨ Search: Toile de Jouy Sarreguemines Luneville Varages Gian digoin limoges Coté Bastide Brocante Stencil template Also on sale with the set at the end α ⇓ Antique Sarreguemines floral pattern φ24.3cm deep large plate Beautiful deep dish 3-piece set β 19th century antique French beautiful amber crackle large plate Poppy and dragonfly/mayfly
