Creil Montereau “parisian” Table Service Froment Richard, Sarreguemines

Creil Montereau, “Parisian” table service.
Decors created by Froment Richard in a style that announces Art Nouveau, with characters and elements related to cooking: fruits and vegetables, eggs, meat, poultry, fish, shellfish, etc., against a landscape background suggested by a few touches of color.
Brown edging decorated with petals applied in threes on the edge of the pieces.
On some plates, slightly bleached cracks on the brown border (see photo no. 11).
Stamp printed in brown “Creil Montereau” in a rectangle, topped with the words “Deposited”, and below the name of the decor - “Parisien”.
Some decorations are signed in the body of the pattern.
