Set Of Six Late 19th-Century Creil Et Montereau Ironstone Plates

This charming set of six plates from the esteemed Creil et Montereau factory captures the elegance of the late 19th to early 20th century European ceramic artistry. Crafted from "terre de fer," or ironstone, their robust construction is perfectly complemented by the delicate beauty of the design. The "Anglais" (english) pattern graces each plate with intricate, lace-inspired motifs in an elgant dark green.

Founded in the early 19th century, the Creil et Montereau manufactory was renowned for its innovation in ceramics, particularly becoming a pioneer in the use of ironstone. This material, favored for its durability, allowed for the production of fine, ornate tableware that was both practical and beloved in elegant French homes. The "Anglais" model reflects the era’s appreciation for English influence in design.

These plates provide an exquisite touch of antiquity and sophistication to any dining experience. Imagine them as a statement piece on a textured wooden table, or paired with crisp white linens to highlight their delicate dark green patterns.
