12 "Fine Street Lamp" dinner plates KG Lunéville

Set of 12 fine earthenware half-porcelain dinner plates, stamped kg (keller & guérin) lunéville france, "réverbère fin" model. Decorated with bouquets of tulips and roses (5 different designs) on a white background. Animated border, enhanced with a relief and a carmine red line on the edge. In very good condition: rare and tiny scratches from use, a few haloed spots and small chips on the back of some plates (without impact), a scratch and a trace of rubbing on the edge (see the detail photos where these defects are arrowed); edges clean of any accident. A jewel of French earthenware, both fresh and majestic, the "fine streetlight" decoration has its origins in Lunéville around 1750, inspired others (eg, "vieux strasbourg" by Villeroy & Boch, "marlborough" by Spode) and was produced until May 2022, the date of the definitive cessation of activity of the Lunéville & Saint-Clément kg factories. The plates offered here date from the 1960s-70s. Diam. 24.5 cm. * Possibility of splitting the set into sets of 4, 6 or 8 plates.
