Description c. 1830 Antique French Faience Creil Plate, 2 Children
This antique French faience plate tells a story of the early nineteenth century. Two young children are resting in a wooded setting. On the left a young girl stands with arms akimbo with her tiered dress, leggings, and ruffled cap. The very young boy is seated, holding a flask and glass. We see his little shoes and socks and pantlegs extending from a blue garment. On his head is an unusual tri-cornered hat. There is a wonderful rich border of flowers and foliage in salmon, yellow, blue, and green. There are three other borders, two in patterned yellow and one in gray. There is a glaze rub at about 10:00. On the back is am impressed mark "Creil" and the number "6." There is a little toning around the edge of the back of the plate and a use mark on the front. For a plate over 190 years old the condition is remarkable. The diameter is 8.5 inches.
