4 earthenware plates, Grigny — "Muguet" model

4 earthenware plates, Grigny — "Muguet" model This set of six flat plates in fine earthenware illustrates the naturalistic decorative style cherished by French manufacturers at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century. The Muguet model, printed in blue monochrome on an ivory background, is distinguished by its delicate branches of bell-shaped flowers spreading in an asymmetrical crown at the centre of the plate, framed by a continuous frieze of small stylised flowers running along the entire rim. Made by the Grigny pottery, known for its production of utilitarian and decorative tableware widely distributed in French households, this series is now appealing for its rustic and timeless charm, perfectly in tune with the current enthusiasm for "country chic" style and tables mixing mismatched antique pieces. Diameter 22.8 cm / In good condition with normal signs of use and age.
