Set of 2 plates dépôt de porcelaines & faïences

Set of 2 hollow plates, from the large porcelain and earthenware depot. Very pretty earthenware with a floral motif representing a scene of nature. The large depot, and its branch, were managed by emile bourgeois. He bought models to the taste of his customers in large earthenware and crystal factories (french) before reselling them in stores. He was the great initiator of this concept (19th). Lot in good condition. Note one plate with slight stains and the other with crack not crossing (see photos). Another set of 2 plates, signed e. Bourgeois and of the same service, also available.
