A set of six French Rebus Puzzle dessert plates, circa 1841 to 1876, marked Creil et Montereau.
Transfer printed in black on a white earthenware body. When solved, the picture puzzle spells out a wise saying or maxim.
From the early 1800’s into the early 1900’s, most French homes had a set of Rebus dessert plates. Solving the puzzle provided entertainment and conversation to the table after a traditionally long meal. The solution is printed on the verso of the plate.
A double band of French Blue lining borders a raised shell form embossed rim with the rebus in the center of the plate.
7.75 inches Diameter - perfect for the dessert or cheese course.
In very good antique condition. Light signs of wear to the surface, some minor rough rims, no chipping or hairlines.
