Old plate iron earth A. Lebacqz & M. Bouchart St Amand Persian model

Superb very old round plate made of ironstone, rare in this deep green colour, from the famous manufacture A. Lebacqz & M. Bouchart – Saint-Amand. A model from the late 19th century, stemming from the Orientalist movement that inspired French manufacturers. The Persian decoration, finely printed, features architectural medallions and stylised floral motifs in a sumptuous deep green hue. Every detail – the vegetal arabesques, radiant suns, and ornamental frieze – reflects the refined taste for exoticism of that era. Stamped A. Lebacqz & M. Bouchart – Saint-Amand, Persian decoration: Production circa 1880–1895, stamp with a monkey holding a globe. This stamp was used between 1877 and 1895, before the merger into the Société des Faïenceries de Saint-Amand & Hamage. It was then replaced by marks with a rampant lion or the mention "Terre de Fer – St Amand". Diameter 30 cm. In beautiful vintage condition – lovely shine, even patina: the patina of time and the network of cracks in the glaze enhance the authentic charm of this collectible piece. A rare piece full of charm and a testament to the craftsmanship of the North, ideal in a cottagecore decor. I also have the large oval plate in the same model from the same manufacture.
