AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This is a beautiful French decorative plate from Émaux de Longwy, made of majolica/fayence earthenware and decorated with the characteristic cloisonné enamel technique.
The plate is rendered in the recognizable turquoise or 'Bleu de Longwy' with a finely crazed glaze and a traditional design of a bird, a butterfly, and rich floral motifs.
This exact pattern (known as the 'Florence' or 'Mésange' type) was designed in the early 1920s.
During this period, many trial pieces, early runs, or pieces finished directly by the enamel painters in the workshop were not given the official factory stamp. The focus was on the hand-applied glaze lines.
To give it extra cachet, the rim features a gilded copper turnover edge.
Overall it is in excellent condition with light signs of use but no other noteworthy issues.
