A Fragment of European History
This model is particularly sought after by collectors due to its specific "Made in France-Saar Economic Union" stamp. This marking allows the piece to be precisely dated between 1947 and 1956, a period when Saarland was in an economic union with France after World War II.
Design & Aesthetics
Model: Vieux Strasbourg, an iconic reinterpretation of 18th-century Alsatian designs.
Patterns: Sumptuous polychrome floral bouquets (tulips, roses) with colors that remain vibrant.
Finish: Elegant lobed rim highlighted with a delicate hand-painted green border.
Condition
This plate shows natural crazing (fine cracks in the glaze beneath the surface), which is characteristic of earthenware from this era and guarantees its vintage authenticity.
