Vintage Deep Plate, Saran, Messidor I

This is a vintage deep plate from the Salins Messidor series.

Manufactured between 1950 and 1960, this series is charming for its hand-painted, gentle aesthetic.

The rhythmic and soft rim, resembling flower petals, is highlighted by a deep red border, creating a harmonious tension.

Ears of wheat and flowers are vividly depicted, conveying the joy of harvest.

The deep, purplish-red color is subdued and mature, so despite the large pattern, it doesn't overpower but rather harmonizes beautifully.

It's a lovely dish that you'll want to display like a painting.

The stamp on the back reads E.C., which is believed to be an abbreviation for Edouard Charbonnier. Edouard Charbonnier, son of Robert Charbonnier of the Longchamp pottery, served as president of the Salins pottery from 1912 to 1968.

There is crazing. There are no chips or cracks, and while there are few signs of use, there are stained cutlery marks.

Size: Diameter 24.5cm x Height 3cm
