On the white Limoges porcelain, someone took the time to paint roses. Three stems of mauve and pale pink tea roses, barely bloomed buds, gray-green foliage with a light, watercolor-like stroke. The signature "Chris", brush-painted beneath the bouquet, tells the essential story: this plate is a unique piece, hand-painted by an artist on quality white porcelain. The porcelain itself is remarkable. The scalloped rim is entirely covered with an embossed decoration of scrolls and foliage, finely molded, with a luminous whiteness. This type of white-on-white relief-decorated form is characteristic of Limoges production from the 1950s-1970s, where elegance was conveyed through the material as much as through the decoration. On the reverse, the green Electra Limoges France stamp confirms its origin and period. The porcelain is luminous, the glaze perfect, with no chips or restorations. With its 24 cm diameter, this plate naturally finds its place in an open display cabinet, hung on a wall, or placed on an easel. It belongs to that category of pieces that carry a personal story within them, that of an artistic gesture applied to beautiful material.
