Old iron earth plate Creil and Montereau - Admiral decoration

Here is an old ironstone dish from the famous Creil and Montereau house, stamped Amiral, as they no longer make. Its printed decoration in burgundy on a cream background features a delicate central rosette, surrounded by a frieze of scrolls, stylised hearts, and small fleur-de-lis on the edge. The patina of time and the fine crazing of the glaze give it that authentic charm that makes all the difference. Placed on an easel, hung in a wall collection, or returned to the table for special occasions, it instantly adds a touch of retro poetry to the home.
