Condition:
Excellent vintage condition, beautifully preserved and commensurate with age and use. The platter is free of chips, fractures, scratches or discoloration. Remarkably for majolica of this era, there is no glaze crazing. A few tiny, superficial glaze bubbles are present from production, which are entirely typical of hand-glazed pottery and do not detract from its appearance. A rare, high-quality collector's piece in ready-to-use condition.

Additional Info:
   

The Saint-Clément faïencerie was founded in 1758. Saint-Clément secured the coveted designation of Royal Supplier to Queen Marie-Antoinette for her Trianon estate. Over its long history, the pottery adapted seamlessly to shifting artistic eras and was renowned for its majolica (barbotine) and botanical wares in the 19th century. Present day Saint-Clément stands as one of the oldest active ceramic manufacturers in France, preserving centuries of traditional French earthenware craftsmanship.
