SOLD Splendid Old French Majolica Sarreguemines Fish Shape Plate

Collectibles : Pottery : Majolica : French

 

I am very pleased to offer this gorgeous fish shape plate made by the renowned French faiencerie, Sarreguemines, (a.k.a Utzschneider et Cie) of Sarreguemines, France. Sarreguemines, a well-known pottery in the Northeast of France near the Belgian border, was a well-established pottery in operation since 1778, when they added majolica to their production line in the early 1860’s. The quality of their products put them into direct competition with the classic English manufacturers such as Minton and Wedgwood. This plate measures approximately 9 1/2" in diameter, excluding the tail and head. It is clearly marked with the “Sarreguemines overstamped D.V.” mark that was in use from about 1920 until 1960. I would date this to either the late 1940’s or early 50’s. The plate is in superb condition with no chips, cracks, hairlines or repairs. See the photos for details. Shipping weight: 2 lb. 14 oz. (Location: MB1)

(The other 2 available plates have a shallow rim chip on the underside. Please feel free to email me for detail photos.)
