Each plate features a hand-painted floral basket at the center, surrounded by an elaborate scrolling border in cobalt blue, ochre, and green tones, with a softly scalloped rim.
Although similar in design, the plates show subtle differences in color intensity and painter’s marks on the reverse, reflecting their hand-crafted nature and slightly different production periods. Such variations are typical of early French faience and add to their authenticity and charm.
These plates were originally produced for decorative and table use and today are highly appreciated as wall display pieces or collector’s items.
