Fabulous rare set of four seasons wall plates made in France in the 1920’s or 30’s. Atelier Primavera marketed fine high end ceramics in the Printemps department store in Paris. Each of the four lovely black rimmed plates feature a lovely fashionable lady portrayed in delicate shades of pink and gray-blue. The plates are identified by their themes as le printemps (spring), l’ete (summer), l’automne (autumn) and l’hiver (winter). I cannot find any references on line to this set but the decoration looks very similar to that of Gio Ponti for Richard Ginori. Great addition to a collection! SIZE: 8.6 (22cm) diameter approx. CONDITION: Very good vintage condition. There is overall clean crazing and two of the plates (l’ete & l’automne) have a tiny bit of wear (abrasion) to the glaze at the bottom edge, no doubt due to rubbing on a previous plate hanger. MARKS: Each plate is marked PRIMAVERA Made in France. Please take a look at my other Auctions! Please note that photographs are part of the description. I provide professional packing with bubblewrap, packing peanuts and styrofoam. In the unlikely event of a problem please contact me before leaving Feedback.
