About the Item

This 18th-century French porcelain dish was hand-painted circa 1785. Crafted at the renowned Locré manufactory, also known as Porcelaine de La Courtille, in Paris the bowl is decorated with gorgeous handpainted purple roses, complementing green leaves, and small gilded flower sprigs, The border continues the same pattern. The enameled flowers create a striking visual contrast against the fine white porcelain. The small gilded sprigs add an elegant shimmer. Craftsmanship: Jean-Baptiste Locré founded this celebrated porcelain workshop in 1771. Locré porcelain is celebrated for its refined, translucent white body and intricate Rococo-style decoration. This bowl reflects the exceptional artistry and attention to detail characteristic of this distinguished Parisian workshop. It offers a glimpse into the refined tastes of the French aristocracy in the late 18th century. Marks: The dish bears the Locré crossed torches mark in underglaze blue, a hallmark of authenticity. Dimensions: 9.25" diameter x 1.5" depth Condition: Excellent Price: $280 Historical Note: Joseph Marryat's 1857 publication, A History of Pottery and Porcelain, praised the Locré factory's craftsmanship, describing its porcelain as "white and very translucent," with decorations "painted and decorated in the best taste." The manufactory operated from 1773 to 1794, leaving behind a legacy of exquisite porcelain artistry. Reference: Marryat, Joseph. A History of Pottery and Porcelain: Mediæval and Modern. London: Murray, 1868.
