Lovely RARE French Antique Ironstone Hand-Painted Floral Dinner Plate "Assiette" in French. Made by famous French maker of Earthware Faience "Longwy" France, in Terre de Fer.  

Stamped : « Longwy » and based on the company print mark dates back to the 1920-30s. This plate reminds me of other plates I once owned "ARDECHE" pattern made by DIGOIN Sarreguemines.

It is decorated beautifully in hand-painted gray baby blue leaves and trim with warm red and purple flowers on an creme ivory background.   This a great purchase for any Art-Deco or pottery collector.

PLEASE NOTE: I have 11 in total but the price of this listing is for 1 plate. It is programmed to allow you to select a quantity you wish to purchase and the style. 

--- Condition ---

Blemishes shown in the photo collages. Please ask me if you are unsure. PLEASE use ZOOM to review closely the detail and condition of the plates.

**Special Note about aged Porcelain**
If you are not accustomed to this ‘look’, google crazing and the aging process of porcelain. The Japanese use crazing to add an artistic look to their pieces whereas antiques go through the natural aging process. Crazing is cracking in the surface of the plate due to use sometimes it's even and is called the crackle look and other times it is random.

These items are old, were used and were manufactured at a time when processes were less under control as today. Therefore, in addition to the defects identified and reported in the ad, slight dimensional differences or deviations in the color or in the decoration between the different parts could be noted. Besides, some little marks or small manufacturing imperfections such as minor defects in the glaze or in the varnish etc., may also be observed.
