Rare Pair of Hand-Painted Porcelain Plates - Coquet Limoges "Outer Space Circus" Pattern
For your consideration...
A delightful discovery from our recent long weekend in Paris! Rather than venturing to the famous flea markets outside the city, we explored the charming Brocante neighborhood markets and exceptional vintage shops closer to town. This extraordinary pair was among the treasures we sent home in a rather large parcel of carefully curated finds.
About These Exceptional Plates
These hand-painted porcelain plates represent the finest French craftsmanship from the prestigious firm COQUET of Limoges, France. What makes this pair truly special is their whimsical "Outer Space Circus" pattern—a custom design that doesn't appear in any of the firm's catalogs.
Provenance & Rarity
We believe these plates were created as prototypes for a private client and never put into full-scale production, making them exceptionally rare collector's pieces. The unique nature of this commission work showcases the bespoke capabilities of this esteemed Limoges manufacturer.
