Vintage Footed Plate, Digoin & Sarreguemines Agreste B
This is a vintage footed plate from the Digoin & Sarreguemines pottery, part of the Agreste series.
In French, "Agreste" means something from the countryside, simple and rustic.
The bouquet painted on the plate, featuring poppies, bellflowers, thistles, and daisies, consists entirely of plants commonly seen in the French countryside.
Their unpretentious, rustic beauty adorns the flower-rimmed plate.
The red line along the rim tightens the space nicely and seems to enhance its splendor.
Perhaps another reason for its popularity is the playful spirit of the creator, evident in details like the different flowers adorning the rim on each plate.
Condition: A beautiful item with no chips or cracks, and little sign of use.
Size: Diameter 24.5cm x Height 4cm
