A highly collectible set of three nineteenth-century parlant plates by Gien, each decorated with printed riddles and musical-themed imagery in black and brown transferware. Parlant plates are especially sought after for their narrative charm, combining text and imagery to create pieces that were both entertaining and decorative at the table.
The contrast of dark transfer against softly aged glaze gives these plates strong visual presence, making them ideal for wall display, cabinet collections, or layered table settings.
Diameter 7.5 in (19 cm). Condition: fine hairline to rear of one plate; tea staining throughout; otherwise excellent antique condition.
