Antique 18thC French Lille Porcelain Bird Scene Plate Porzellan Teller France #2

  

Antique 18thC French Lille Porcelain Bird Scene Plate Porzellan Teller France #2. This product data sheet is originally written in English. A superb plate made by Lille in about 1785.

The factory was founded in 1784 by Leperre-Durot which was protected by the Dauphin (hence the red dolphin mark with a crown on its head). The factory closed around 1817 after some changes of ownership over its short existence. Most pieces one finds are painted with flowers so I was excited to find this one here which has a superb hand painted scene in the center of two birds surrounded by a landscape scene. Both are really colorful birds of paradise type of birds.

A gold trim to the nicely shaped edge. The plate is in superb condition with some very minor wear to the very edge and some manufacturing flaws expected on these early pieces.

The plate is marked with the red stenciled dolphin with a crown mark though it isn't the clearest example - one can still make it out in the picture. It is 1.125 inches tall and 9.25 inches in diameter. I have a matching second plate listed if anyone is interested in a pair. If you like my goodies have a look at my other auctions for a lot more top maker pieces like KPM, Chantilly and so on.
