Plate - Earthenware - Faience in the style of Aprey

Tin-glazed earthenware plate with a shaped rim, hand-decorated in polychrome small-fire enamels. At the center, a bouquet comprising a fully open rose, blue and yellow flowers, and leafy scrolls, outlined in black. On the rim, a pink combed pattern. Along the edge, raised rocaille scrolls highlighted in green, yellow, pink, and violet.

Monogram “AP” painted in green on the reverse, in the style of the Aprey manufactory (Haute-Marne). Faience of this type was widely produced and reproduced in the 18th and 19th centuries. The date therefore remains uncertain: 19th century, possibly earlier.

Diameter: 26 cm.

Condition: small chips around the rim, exposing the body. Crazing in the glaze. A hairline crack on the edge, visible on the reverse. No restoration. Presented with a brass wall hanger.
