Octagonal Tournai Hollow Porcelain Plate, Chinese Style, 18th Century

Here is a deep Tournai plate with an octagonal shape. In the center, two ducks in a garden bordered by peonies on a rock and stools, garlands of flowers on the rim. As for the condition, we note small lacks in the decoration and traces of wear on the gilding. In November 1750, François Joseph Peterinck from Lille sent a request to the governor of the Netherlands, Charles of Lorraine: to be able to establish a porcelain factory in Tournai under his protection. This request was granted, thus giving birth to Tournai porcelain, remarkable for its quality and quantity produced over time. Tournai created many luxury pieces that have nothing to envy to the most beautiful European productions. Pieces of this porcelain are preserved in particular at the Royal Museum of Mariemont, at the Royal Museum of Art and History [archive] and at the Museum of History and Decorative Arts of Tournai. Our photos allow you to appreciate the quality of the object. For the condition, please detail the photos. Do not hesitate to zoom. The photos are an integral part of the description.
