The Longwy Platter
The Longwy Platter
Found at a market in Amiens, northern France.
A round serving platter made by the Faïenceries de Longwy in Lorraine around 1890–1920, in the Marie-Thérèse pattern — a Louis XVI-style border of green floral garlands and ribbon bows on cream terre de fer. The pattern name sits in the printed crest mark on the back.
Even, fine crazing across the glaze, as expected of old terre de fer; no chips, no cracks. The underside shows light age toning in the crazing.
Measurements — CM: diameter 32 cm, height 3.5 cm. INCH: diameter 12.6 in, height 1.4 in.
All items are antique or vintage and may show small signs of age and use — part of their authenticity and charm. Please review the photos closely, or contact me for more details. Each piece is carefully wrapped and sent with tracked shipping.
