French Creil Montereau Les Sports Creamware Plate No. 10

Pottery : Antique : French

 

A very pleasing, late 19th century French faience plate made by Creil Montereau, Number 10 in the Les Sports Series. This scenic piece is one of four we currently have on hand. It has a nicely scalloped rim and a blue floral border surrounding a central scene in black transferware entitled simply "No. 10 AUTOMOBILE."

The scene is a humorous one showing a dandy posing with his cane while he twirls his hat to impress the ladies stopped beside him in an open car. This charming, old plate measures 6 1/2 inches in diameter and is in an excellent condition with a small bit of crazing as commonly seen for these old faience pieces. There are no other flaws of any kind. Please click on the photo to see additional enlarged views.
