About the Item

Pair of decorative French antique butter dishes by Ruaud French, c. 1860 Height 14cm, width 19cm, depth 10cm These charming 19th-century butter dishes reflect the whimsical creativity of mid-Victorian design. Made by Ruaud, a Limoges porcelain maker active between 1829 and 1869, each dish takes the form of a miniature sofa, decorated with bold hand-painted blue and gold geometric patterns. Perched on each porcelain sofa is a playful figure—a man and a woman—dressed in eccentric, eye-catching attire. The man wears a vivid mix of purple, green, black, and orange, inspired by Western Orientalist style. The woman breaks convention with her trousers, pirate-style hat, and a cigar in hand—her pose both playful and subversive for the era. Delicate gilding highlights the folds of their garments, adding a touch of opulence. Stamped ‘RUAUD’ and ‘B’ on the base, these novelty ceramics were designed to amuse while showcasing craftsmanship and creativity. Today, they stand as delightful conversation pieces and a rare glimpse into the humorous side of 19th-century French porcelain artistry.
