This antique plate has a beautiful floral motif with among others, colombines, poppies and foliage. Around the rim is ornate scroll work.
Both sides have developed a delightful warm "tea stained" patina, with some wear to the plate from use over such a long period. This patterning makes the plate a unique antique. There are no chips or cracks.
The maker's mark on the base, Boulanger & co from the famous faïencerie at Choisy-le-Roy just outside Paris, dates this to 1878. The pattern is "Floreal"
The plate measures 9" in diameter. This is French dinner plate size.
Delightfully timeworn blue and white 1878 floral plate
