Paris Porcelain Plate - Attributed To The Darte Ou Schoelcher Manufacture - Ep. Empir

Circular in shape, resting on a slight heel. The presentation is more or less hollow, depending on the purpose of the plate. This one is slightly flat. The bottom, called the "basin", is surrounded by a more or less curved descent (or fall), bordered by a crown called the "wing" by manufacturers or "marli" in goldsmithing. HARD porcelain White background with cameo-style decoration of a psyche's face in profile, in a medallion with a black background surrounded by a large gold net, the wing is decorated with a garland of vine branches. Large gold threads on the edges. Only a few rare Manufactures have painted decorations in imitation of Cameo. The two factories to have created the cameo decorations are the DARTE and SCHOECHER Manufactures. Despite the lack of mark on this plate, we can undoubtedly attribute it to one of its 2 Manufactures.
