Creil & Montereau Plate No. 1
This late 19th-century Creil & Montereau plate features a captivating transfer-print image evoking the commedia dell’arte in the French countryside. Four theatrical characters are linked arm in arm, in a jovial and, dare we say jaunty, manner. The delicate black-and-white vignette serves as a nostalgic window into 1890s social life, transforming a functional porcelain dish into a stirring historical narrative. Moderate wear consistent with age and use.
