Assorted French Antique Plates - pick your choice

1. A beautiful blue transferware bowl/plate, manufactured by Longwy and features a beautiful floral design called "Azalées" . A real stunner.

These plates are:

- Authentic French vintage
- Rare to find!
- made between 1870 - 1914
- Off-white ironstone.
- Blue transferware
- Marked LONGWY
- Pattern "Azalées"
- In very good vintage condition for its age! NO CRACKS.

22 cm diameter, with a dip, so it can hold liquid.

2. Rare plates flat Longwy faience, dated March 1892. They have a design in the center of scrolls and leaves which continue on the plate edges in blue transfer, the typical blue of the end of the century. Stunning.

These plates do have signs of age, including a chip on the back of one of the plates, as shown in the photos. A rare find!

22 cm diameter.

3. Sweet plates of classic transferware pattern in a striking teal flower garland on cream white. These plates were manufactured by St. Amand and the pattern is Argenton. Made in 1930. These plates are in great condition, some blurring of the transferware, typical with age. NO chips or cracks.

22 cm diameter, with a dip, so it can hold liquid.

4. Gien, my favourite manufacturer of quality French plates, (for over 200 years) has such beautiful, hand painted plates - the bouquets des roses is definitely one of my favourites!

This is a creamy white base with a distinctive dark blue, typical of the era. The center is painted with a lovely crown of branches, leaves and roses while the edges continue the theme in a more intricate pattern.  

Use these as dinner plates for any course of your meal - very transitional, very chic and very French.

23 cm diameter.

Sourced in the Loire, France.

Made in France.
