Blue Cornflowers Saucer W/ Gold Trim #1

This is a lonely saucer made in France in the late 18th century. The paste of this piece is really nice and white quite typical of French maker of the Paris region during this period . Definitely one of the better makers but without a mark I cannot attribute it to any one specific maker! It is hand painted with a really nice version of the blue corn flower decoration that so many makers used during this period. A cornflower floral garland with their leaves along the edge with colorful single corn flowers and gold leaves in the center. Gold trim along the edge and along the inside rim. The saucer is in great condition with just some wear to the gilding along the edge. Blue cornflowers were a favorite of Marie Antoinette and thus became very popular during this time period. The piece is not marked underneath but is definitely French from this period! It is 1.125 inches tall and just over 5 inches in diameter. Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $129
