The maker's mark is printed clearly on the reverse. The shape is generous and simple, meant for a roast or a whole fish at the center of a table, and the restrained green-on-cream palette is the reason this French faience keeps finding its way into collected, layered rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Dimensions | 1.25 in H x 15 in W x 10 in D\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Surface | Original glaze, cleaned\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Material | Fine white earthenware (faience fine)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Period | Antique\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Date | Circa 1900\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Origin | France\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Style or School | French, laurel border pattern\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Also Known As | Nobilis pattern serving platter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Maker | Utzschneider et Cie, Sarreguemines, printed Nobilis mark\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Construction or Technique | Transfer-printed border on molded oval body\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[condition]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe platter is structurally sound with no chips, cracks, or restoration found. The glaze shows fine overall crazing across the well, which is normal aging in earthenware of this age and not damage. There is honest tea-colored staining in the center of the well, most visible under direct light, consistent with long use as a serving piece. The green laurel border is strong and continuous with no significant loss to the transfer. The printed mark on the reverse is clear and legible. Light surface scuffing to the well from utensil use over its life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e#187\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51482664206614,"sku":"AMD-03626","price":145.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/Belgium_FranceInventoryContinued-11161.jpg?v=1785703899","url":"https:\/\/austynmariedesign.com\/products\/antique-french-serving-platter-green-laurel-nobilis-sarreguemines-1900","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
