Antique 19th Century French Proverbes Rebus Puzzle Plate by Creil and Montereau, green and black transferware. These charming plates are sometimes called "Talking Plates" or "assiettes parlantes" as they are called in France, and were used in French society as conversation starters at dinner parties. The plate features a rebus, a puzzle composed of words and pictures that together form a phrase. This plate's phrase is "souvent femme varie bien fol qui s'y fie" which translates "Women are fickle, whoever trusts them is a fool." These are quite amusing!
For it's age, this plate is in absolutely pristine condition!
