This pair from Clairefontaine has that wonderful blue-and-white presence, with matching Louis XV decoration and enough scale to feel important without becoming formal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade by the Faïencerie de Clairefontaine during the Léon Graves period, these antique French terre de fer platters date from around 1894 to 1913. Each carries the Louis XV pattern, with a blue transfer scene of a straw beehive, wheat sheaf, flowering branches and rocaille scrollwork on a warm cream ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reverse of each platter is marked Terre de Fer, Clairefontaine, with the sea anchor used by the factory. The surfaces show age and table wear consistent with more than a century of use, while the blue decoration remains crisp and easy to live with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed together on a sideboard, layered into a larger Clairefontaine service or brought to the table for fruit, bread or a large family meal, they add rhythm and history immediately. Dinner plates survive more often than matching serving pieces, which makes this pair especially good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eView the set here: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/products\/antique-french-40-piece-faience-service-clairefontaine-s-g-louis-xv-1880s\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Louis XV Dining Set Clairefontaine\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e40 Piece Dining Set\u003c\/a\u003e  |  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/products\/antique-french-plates-set-of-12-clairefontaine-terre-de-fer-louis-xv-pattern\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Louis XV terre de fer clairefontaine plate set\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e10 Piece Plate Set\u003c\/a\u003e  |  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/products\/antique-french-faience-plates-set-of-10-clairefontaine-terre-de-fer-louis-xv-blue-transferware\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"10 Piece Plate Set Louis XV Clairefontaine Terre de Fer\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e10 Piece Plate Set\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54362712211799,"sku":"FAI-070","price":395.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/antique-french-clairefontaine-louis-xv-serving-platters-blue-2.jpg?v=1787569644","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/products\/antique-french-faience-serving-platters-clairefontaine-louis-xv-blue-transfer-pair","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
