Antique Plate Onnaing Eglantines F

This is an antique plate from the Onnaing Pottery, part of the Eglantines series.

Eglantines refers to wild roses.
The dynamically drawn bouquets and delicate trim around the edge beautifully adorn the plate.

The Onnaing Pottery was located in Onnaing, a town in northern France, near Belgium. It was particularly famous for its barbotine ware and existed from 1821 to 1938.

This particular series does not have the usual backstamp. Furthermore, instead of "Terre de fer" (earthenware), it is marked "Ivoire" (ivory), leading us to believe it was a special edition. (Ivoire means ivory, which we interpret as meaning the clay used was close to a cream color.)

The cream-colored plate, with its added coloration and crazing, has achieved a lovely antique atmosphere.

Condition: There is overall crazing and discoloration, but no chips or cracks, indicating it is in good condition.
Size: Approximately 22.5 cm diameter x 3 cm
Era: Believed to be late 19th century.
