Set of 3 Antique Sarreguemines Dessert Plates: Hand-Painted Floral Ceramic

These three plates were produced at the Sarreguemines manufactory in France between 1860 and 1919, when Paul Utzschneider was in charge of production. In the 19th century, following the great craze for English earthenware, many manufacturers around the world began to copy the style of the Minton manufactory. That is why we find examples reproduced identically to those of English origin (except, however, for some details, in order to avoid accusations of plagiarism), but made in French or other workshops. The visible side of the plates depicts many flowers and two butterflies. A dark blue frieze completes the composition and it reminds us so much of Minton. On the back of the plate there is a green Sarreguemines marking and on one of the plates the number 217 is written in red. They are perfect for a romantic, chic holiday table or simply as part of your interior decor. The plates are in excellent vintage condition, without chips or cracks, without loss of paint. Therefore, please examine the items carefully through zoom before making a purchase. If you want to buy them just for decoration, I can offer you another similar plate, but it has a crack, which is not so important if you want to put it in a buffet, for example (photo 9 and 10). And it will be FREE for you! I just can't bring myself to break this magnificence. Let me know. Dimensions aprox. Diameter 20.5 cm`s 7.87 inch`s. High 2 cm`s 0.78 inch`s.
