Grand service de table Francine, Faïencerie de Badonviller, début XXe

Description :
Very complete ceramic table service from the famous Badonviller French manufacturer, iconic Francine model. Dating from the early 20th century (circa 1900-1905), this service perfectly embodies the rustic-chic charm of the Belle Époque with its delicate countryside decoration composed of bouquets of blue cornflowers and green foliage, enhanced by fine blue borders.

Each piece bears the authenticity stamp of the earthenware factory; the letter "F" at the center of these marks refers to Théophile Fenal, director of the factory.

Composition of the service (52 pieces) :
32 flat plates (diameter: 22.5 cm)
11 soup plates (diameter: 22 cm)
1 large circular dish (diameter: 31.5 cm)
1 circular dish (diameter: 26.5 cm)
1 large tureen with lid (30.5 x 15 cm)
1 large oval dish (37.5 x 27 cm)
2 gratins (22 x 15 cm)
1 hollow dish (diameter: 26.5 cm)
2 small hollow dishes (diameter: 25 cm)

Condition:
The set is in very good condition, reflecting careful use over the decades.
Note: Some plates show very small enamel flakes on the outer rim (invisible when used for the drinking area).
The tureen also has a few small enamel chips on the edges (see photos).
Apart from these minor signs of wear, the shine of the earthenware and the vividness of the floral decor are impeccable.
