Description from the seller

Rare commemorative plate of Longwy enamels, produced for the Eucharistic Congress in Nancy in 1949.
This piece perfectly illustrates the factory's iconic craftsmanship, with a richly enameled polychrome decoration, entirely adorned and hand-finished.

The centerpiece of the plate features a symbolic medallion with a cross and a chalice, surrounded by the inscription Eucharistic Congress – Nancy 1949, all framed by a stylized floral motif on a blue background, typical of Longwy artistic productions from the mid-20th century.

An object that is both decorative and historical, arising from a limited commemorative production, sought after by collectors of French art pottery and religious items.
