ProfessionalProduct description
Elegant pair of large antique plates from the Badonviller factory in Lorraine, part of the very beautiful Richelieu pattern. On fine ivory-toned earthenware, delicate blue printed floral bouquets are featured. Roses, daisies, and foliage form a regular wreath around the well, in this monochrome palette that remains one of the great hallmarks of antique French tableware. All the charm of the Richelieu pattern also lies in the craftsmanship of its material. The rim features a particularly elaborate molded relief decoration, alternating plant motifs and small beads, while the scalloped edge is highlighted with a fine deep blue frieze. Light catches the earthenware's reliefs and gives the set a presence that the photographs capture particularly well. Badonviller is part of the great history of Lorraine's earthenware factories. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, these factories produced dinnerware sets that accompanied the transformation of bourgeois interiors. With Richelieu, Badonviller embraced the French taste for scalloped forms and classical ornaments while adapting it to modern techniques of fine earthenware. The reverse is stamped Richelieu, Badonviller, F.T. Diameter approximately 26 cm. The plates have withstood the test of time and naturally bear its marks. There are old traces and browning in the wells, as well as a patina of use, all perfectly visible in the photographs. These characteristics have been taken into account in their price. More than a century after their creation, this blue on an ivory background retains a surprising freshness and blends equally well with an antique table or a contemporary interior.
