Elegant porcelain plate made at the beginning of the 19th century by the prestigious duc d'angoulême factory in paris. Cornflower decoration, very fashionable since the 18th century. Historical context: the patron of the duc d'angoulême factory was none other than the duc d'angoulême himself, husband of marie-thérèse, eldest daughter of marie-antoinette. This plate was made at a time when she returned to france after many years of exile. Note: the last two photos show 18th century pieces from the duc d'angoulême factory exhibited at the louvre museum. Details: period: early 19th century manufacturer: duc d'angoulême factory, paris signature: manufre de mgr le duc d'angouleme a paris material: porcelain dimensions: diameter: 24.8 cm height: 3.5 cm quantity: 1 plate condition: very good overall condition for such an old piece. Despite its 200-year history, it shows no significant damage or restoration. As with all porcelain from this period, slight manufacturing imperfections may be present, such as small black spots or slight irregularities, characteristic of the artisanal process of the time and not constituting a defect.
