{"product_id":"french-antique-aumale-faience-floral-plate","title":"Antique French Faience Plate | Normandy Floral | Early 19th Century","description":"\u003cp\u003eT\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis antique French faience plate has a hand-painted charm rarely seen. It isthat makes early provincial pottery so appealing. The edge almost looks like exterior Christmas lights from the 1980's and 90's... most likely they are indicating some type of celebratory event. The center is painted by hand with a rouge fer flower, soft green leaves and small blue buds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis assiette en faïence (faience plate) likely dates from the first half of the 19th century, consistent with regional faience produced around Normandy. This one is from Aumale in the style of Forges-les-Eaux.  No maker’s mark is visible, which is expected for provincial faience of this period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis beautiful plate has the kind of surface patina that comes from long use. The cream glaze has aged naturally, and the rim carries a few small chips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, it would be beautiful hung on a kitchen wall, set against the back of a glass fronted armoire or setup with other antique French faience. The flower, the leaves and the little chain of color around the rim bring a quiet bit of France into the room.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52268808470871,"sku":"FAI-024","price":216.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/french-antique-aumale-faience-floral-plate-2.jpg?v=1764696237","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/products\/french-antique-aumale-faience-floral-plate","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
