Rare 18th-century French Rouen faience plates from Forges-les-Eaux, decorated in classic blue and white with hand-painted floral motifs and scalloped rims. Each plate displays the soft crackling, kiln variation, and surface wear expected of true Rouen earthenware of the period, with areas of loss and patina that speak to their age and use. The painterly decoration varies subtly from piece to piece, making each plate unique while remaining cohesive as a grouping. Offered individually, these plates are equally compelling displayed on a wall, layered on open shelving, or styled into a tabletop vignette where their history and quiet beauty can be fully appreciated.
