PR French Malicorne Rare Botanical Plates Unmarked Pouplard-Beatrix PBx Faience Quimper. For sale is a wonderful Pair of Rare Antique French Botanical Plates depicting beautiful florals on a white background and narrow yellow border. The plates are unmarked. The plates measure approximately 9-3/4 or 25 cm diameter and were made in the late 19th or very early 20th century, possibly unmarked as a result of their early patent lawsuit with Porquier Beau. The plates have lots of crazing, so please enlarge the photos to see closeups. The crazing is not as obvious when they are hanging on the wall. There are also a few glaze nicks on each at the bottom edge, see photos, probably from the original heavy metal hangers. Otherwise, the plates are in nice condition overall, highly detailed artistry, beautiful florals, and an insect on one plate. The plates have firing pin marks on the reverse and glaze flaws typically seen on antique French pottery. Please enlarge photos for closeup views. The botanicals are characteristic of the many designs of Pouplard Beatrix, as their pottery depicted scenes from French country life as well as animal life, botanicals, etc. That handmade French pottery can have glaze flaws, including loss of glaze and uneven glaze color, inherent to the firing process. Please message me with any questions. Coordinates well with Quimper and other French faience pottery. Comes from a non-smoking home. Plates sourced in France.
