SET of 4 antique French ironstone dinner plates, polychrome floral in brown, green + pink, hand colored, K&G Luneville France

An exquisite set of dinner plates with beautiful polychrome floral designs in the 'Bluets' pattern from renowned French maker Luneville, France.

This lovely ironstone dinner set features beautiful floral designs rendered in polychrome transferware. Made in earthenware with a delicate ivory ground with polychrome designs, richly decorated with many intricate details. An elegant antique set in excellent, well-kept condition and wonderful for continued use at the table.

This set has swags of cottage style charm. An absolutely classic design for a farmhouse kitchen, but its palette means it will work beautifully any vintage décor. Excellent bright color and retaining an ivory base without any significant discoloration and every piece is in usable condition.

Please note also that I have a full service available in this pattern and several small sets of side plates.
Note that there is a slight colour difference between this set of 4 and the dinner service and other smaller sets, it appears that, some of the colours in this set are more muted and sepia in tone, possibly a divergence due to the firing process.

Dimensions and condition as follows:

4 x flat plates - 23cm diameter x 3.5cm high

Overall, this set remains in very good to excellent condition despite its age of 100+ years. Because this is a functional item, you may expect to see signs of use including light scratches, a few small areas of glaze loss, a few small areas of discoloration, etc. Also, it is manufactured to different standards than today and you may see areas of glaze smudging, glaze spots, bubbles under the glaze which are part of the vintage charm of these items. This quality set remains very usable and will display well for years to come.

A classic usable set - and beautiful way to add some authentic vintage charm to your life!
