I am offering for sale this magnificent and rare pair of fine English earthenware plates from the Cauldon factory, in excellent overall condition. These two plates are adorned with a beautiful pair of combined coats of arms beneath a Count's coronet and were originally part of a complete dinner service made for a wedding.
The Cauldon factory was a pottery works located in Staffordshire, in the west of England, specializing in the export of fine earthenware throughout Europe, particularly to France during the Second Empire, where the quality of its production was highly prized by high society. These pieces were then resold in Paris by major companies specializing in tableware, such as E. Bourgeois on Rue Drouot. There is just a small chip on the rim of one of the plates.
