Set of 4 pieces of ironstone brought together for the blue-grey naturalistic decorations, ivory backgrounds, and compositions inspired by flowers, birds, and vegetation: – Clairefontaine platter, model "Bengali", stamped with the anchor L.G. – Léon Graves, decoration of birds and flowering branches. Production during Léon Graves' period at Clairefontaine, 1890-1913. Dimensions: 23.5 × 13 cm. – Creil-Montereau plate, service Cerisiers circa 1890-1910. Diameter: 23.5 cm. – Large plate by Jules Vieillard in Bordeaux, service "Nénuphar", published for E.C. La Samaritaine, late 19th to early 20th century. Superb composition of aquatic vegetation, irises, and a flying duck. Diameter: 31 cm. – Small antique plate, probably Gien, model Libellule, with a charming decoration of daisies, wildflowers, and ears of corn. Attribution remains cautious due to an unreadable impressed mark. Diameter: 17.5 cm. In good antique condition, significant patina, marks of over a century, crazing of the glaze, old stains, signs of use, wear, as well as a few small chips and occasional accidents, a hairline crack on the large plate (see photos). Bluish-grey, patinated ivory, and abundant botanical motifs: four decorations over a century old that seem to have been brought together for today's walls.
