My favorite blue and white French pattern, I have a lot of pieces collected over decades of this fabulous pottery, and will begin offering it in pieces or sets. The large soup tureen shown in final images will be offered separately so do look for it (I actually have 2 of those to sell eventually). These are soup plates, though fabulous for pasta, or just about any meal. They are large 9" diameter plates with a 1.5" depth. You're buying a set of 6 soup plates in this offering, all without chip nor crack, and all ranging 150-170 years of age. Thick and as Country French as you can get. Magnificent old France in the flow blue pattern, which includes morning glories and fanciful florals and a hand-striped border.
Very good to excellent for age and type, no chips nor hairlines nor cracks, you will see some light crazing typical of the old ironstone (Terre de fer) potteries of France. I have noted one plate has slight darkening toward center (see images).
