A royal romance painted by hand. At the center, a jeweled crown rises over a sumptuous red and gold mantle, the grand pavilion display reserved for royal arms. Beneath it sits a richly quartered shield bearing the crowned white eagle of Poland, a second proud eagle, a sword, and a golden horn. Three golden fleurs-de-lis of France and a scattering of black ermine spots, the emblem of Brittany and of royal ermine robes, surround the crest, all embraced by a graceful laurel wreath. The pairing of the Polish eagle with French lilies calls to mind Marie LeszczyÅska, the Polish princess who became Queen of France as the wife of Louis XV.
The border is a showstopper in its own right: classic dĆ©cor Ć la plume feathering in deep cobalt and iron red, finished with a charming green scroll along the scalloped rim, a hallmark of Nevers and northern French faience. The reverse bears a hand-painted blue fleur-de-lis mark. It's a perfect companion to our Sun King armorial plate. Display the two together for a truly regal French wall, or let this beauty reign alone on a stand. For collectors of French faience, heraldry, and royal history, this is a treasure.
- Type: French tin-glazed faience, hand-painted
- Mark: Hand-painted blue fleur-de-lis over "C"
- Date: c. 1880ā1920, in the 18th-century style
- Decoration: Royal crown and mantle, quartered arms with Polish eagle, fleurs-de-lis, ermine spots, and laurel wreath
- Diameter: 10"
- Condition: Very good antique condition. The glaze is largely uncrazed. There are small rim frits revealing the warm terracotta body, a few scattered kiln specks, and old label residue on the reverse. All of this is honest wear consistent with age. Please see photos.
