A rare 'assiette parlante' by Creil et Montereau commemorating the Exposition Universelle of 1867. These narrative plates were designed to spark conversation and reflect contemporary events.
In intricate black transferware on French 'terre de fer' faience, with some marks of time, this piece is ideal for display. With a design focused on the pavillion of the Viceroy of Egypt, this piece carries an interesting historical context, along with its age, charm and strong graphic appeal.
Diameter 8 in (20.3 cm). Condition: large chip to rear rim; displays well.
