Pair of French Faïence Flower Plates, 18th century

These hand-painted porcelain plates feature a charming central bouquet of pink roses, yellow blooms, and blue flowers surrounded by scattered sprigs around the wavy rim. Each plate is finished with a soft green border and displays the delicate brushwork characteristic of French faïence production.

Circa 18th century, these pieces reflect the French provincial tradition of decorative tableware that drew inspiration from both fine porcelain imports and local earthenware techniques. The naturalistic floral motifs and restrained palette were typical of the period's approach to domestic pottery design.
