From St Amand, Ceranord, France marked with the pattern name 'Klebler'. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e This service was made in faience fine and features a rich emerald green colour with moulded details and gold transferware florals and pinstripe highlights. Produced in 1950 this service  remains in excellent vintage condition, very usable and displays beautifully.  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e The pattern takes its name from Jean-Baptiste Kléber (1753-1800), one of the most celebrated generals of the French Revolutionary Wars. Born in Strasbourg, Kléber distinguished himself in numerous campaigns and played a leading role in the Egyptian expedition of 1798, where he was left in command of French forces. Assassinated in Cairo in 1800, he died a national hero and is commemorated across France in street names and public squares, most notably the grand Avenue Kléber in Paris. It was common practice for French potteries to name their patterns after such historical figures, and the deep green and gold of this design carries an elegance befitting so illustrious a namesake. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e CONDITION - \u003cbr\u003e Overall, this set remains in excellent condition, just one small shallow chip to a single dessert plate.
