Flat iron-earth plates, Leon Gaves castles model

A batch of 6 flat plates model châteaux of the clairefontaine earthenware, made of iron earth. Each represents a different castle: chambord, chenonceaux, rambouillet, Chantilly, pierrefonds and saint germain. These plates are in excellent condition. They date from the late 19th or early 20th century, when léon graves was then in operation (between 1894 and 1913). The lg stamp attests to this.
