An elegant set of 3 side plates in a French antique transferware pattern in classic teal blue and white. A lovely French aesthetic movement design of stylized flowers and foliage, with bees, dragonflies and butterflies in a classic teal blue and white colorway on a cream ground, unstamped for a maker but clearly produced by one of the renowned faienceries of France. c1900. Marked with Terre de Fer, Mon Chanut, E Primard Street, Paris
CONDITION - Overall, this set remains in very good to excellent condition with a gentle patina of age. Light crazing, light scratches, etc. Also, it is manufactured using more 'handmade' processes than today, and you may see areas of glaze smudging, glaze spots, bubbles under the glaze as is normal for transferware and part of the vintage charm of the items. All pieces remain usable and will display well for years to come.
A beautiful set to use, display and enjoy, a set to treasure for a lifetime and beautiful way to add some authentic French antique charm to your life!
I have 3 sets of 3 mismatched plates available, please contact me if you'd like to see the plates, designs vary with differing combinations of bees, dragonflies and butterflies!
Feel free to ask any questions or to request more photos :)
