Era: Circa 1900
Origin: France
Material: Terre de Fer
Dimensions: 16.3” L × 13” W
DESCRIPTION
A beautiful antique French terre de fer serving platter from Lunéville, dating to around the turn of the 20th century and decorated in an elaborate blue Rocaille pattern.
The generously sized rectangular form features softly rounded corners and a wonderfully detailed transferware decoration of birds, foliage, scrolling cartouches, and ornamental flourishes. The deep blue imagery contrasts beautifully against the warm ivory ground, while subtle molded details around the border give the platter an additional layer of texture.
Marked on the reverse with a Lunéville factory backstamp, the piece is associated with the celebrated ceramic tradition of Lunéville in northeastern France. The mark appears consistent with Keller & Guérin production, though the attribution is based on the visible backstamp and available research.
Originally part of a French table service, its substantial scale makes it especially beautiful today as a serving piece or displayed upright on a shelf, console, or kitchen wall.
