Antique Gien plate – Danube decor

Charming antique opaque porcelain plate, signed Gien, circa 1880–1910, featuring the rare Danube motif in burgundy red. A refined floral arrangement, combining bouquets, foliage, and small garden tools (watering can, rake), in a romantic and bucolic spirit. The Danube motif, much less common than Gien's floral classics, seduces with its delicacy and poetic nod to garden scenes. The earthenware features a typical antique glaze spit, and slightly embossed contours that reinforce its old-world charm. Stamped Faïencerie de Gien, France Diameter 24 cm A very old plate that has been lived in: patina, marks of time, a visible crack, but charming and rare.
