Description

The Clairefontaine pottery, located in the former abbey in the commune of Polaincourt and Clairefontaine in the Haute-Saône department, was active from 1804 to 1932. During its period of activity, it acquired a fine reputation thanks to the variety of its decorations and the quality of its particularly rich and creamy glaze.
The serving piece in question, made of ironstone, bears the pottery's naval anchor seal framed by the initials L G, corresponding to the management of Léon Graves from 1890 to 1913. The name of the decoration is Lavallière.
We offer an ideal set for 8 guests:
11 semi-deep plates, very useful for your winter veloutés or your summer gazpachos. The remaining 3 will have served as accompaniments to your aperitif or will make beautiful bread baskets. 8 dinner plates that your imagination will adorn with the finest dishes.
In the pure Art Nouveau style, the period of Léon Graves's activity and the flourishing of ironware, the rim of each plate is adorned with a wide garland of small leaves and flowers that emerges from an interlacing of scrolls. The base decoration is rich with four different fruit motifs: pomegranates, pears, peaches, and apricots.

The verdigris tone, typical of the period, is very soft.

This service, in perfect condition, without cracks or chips, will look stunning on your table.
