Creil & Montereau plate "vine"

It dates from the second half of the 19th century (around 1840–1895). It is stamped "F.V. LM & CIE" (for Lebeuf, Milliet et Cie). Its purple color gives it a lot of originality and makes it rare to find. 22.5 cm in diameter. It is in good condition for its age, despite a tiny 2 mm chip on the rim. There are slight signs of wear visible in the white of the plate (see photos).
