Sarreguemines - Dessert service (12) - Earthenware

series of 'speaking' dessert plates in eggshell-colored earthenware - 'the months of the year' series. In the center - a grisaille scene of characters - gallant scenes in the 18th-century taste. The clothes and the décors correspond to the different months of the year. One can appreciate the finesse and realism of the décors - especially the backgrounds. On the rim - a brown-color frieze, very elaborate, featuring women in Antiquity - crests - arabesques - foliage - flowers. Marli mouvementé that recalls the LXV style.
