{"product_id":"blue-and-white-antique-transferware-compote-from-pompadour","title":"Antique French Compote Plate | Boulenger Choisy-le-Roi | Pompadour Pattern","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis antique French compote plate has that soft blue-and-cream look that immediately feels at home on a table. The shallow bowl sits on a low pedestal foot, giving it just enough lift to feel special without becoming formal. It is the kind of piece that works beautifully for fruit, cheese, small pastries or simply sitting out where the transferware pattern can be enjoyed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pattern is Pompadour by Hte Boulenger \u0026amp; Cie of Choisy-le-Roi, one of the important French faience makers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The underside is clearly marked Pompadour with a beautiful backstamp. This piece likely dates from around 1880 to 1910, consistent with the mark, material and pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe decoration is blue transferware on a warm cream terre de fer body. The rococo cartouches sit around the rim, each enclosing a small romantic landscape vignette. They are framed by sprays of berries and fern-like foliage. The design has enough detail to feel elegant, but the soft color keeps the whole piece easy to have on the counter every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt would be beautiful holding pears, cherries, citrus, cheese or something sweet after lunch. It could also sit on a shelf with other blue transferware. The pedestal foot gives it a little height, and the Pompadour pattern brings a really wonderful feeling with it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52580816060759,"sku":"TWE-015","price":95.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/french-blue-white-transferware-compote-plate-pompadour-1.jpg?v=1772800271","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/products\/blue-and-white-antique-transferware-compote-from-pompadour","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
