Plate (Assiette)

미술관의 설명

The porcelain factory of Arras was founded in 1770 with the financial backing of the County of Artois. This plate, with its striking cobalt blue on a milky-white ground, was typical of its short-lived 20 years in porcelain production. The sprigs of stylized cornflowers that decorate the center of this plate, a motif known in France as barbeaux, were popularly reproduced on porcelain during the last quarter of the 1700s. The barbeaux pattern was notably used by the Chantilly porcelain factory in the 1770s and was generally produced in either blue or green.
