This bowl reflects the exceptional artistry and attention to detail characteristic of this distinguished Parisian workshop. It offers a glimpse into the refined tastes of the French aristocracy in the late 18th century. Marks: The dish bears the Locré crossed torches mark in underglaze blue, a hallmark of authenticity. Dimensions: 9.25" diameter x 1.5" depth Condition: Excellent Price: $280 Historical Note: Joseph Marryat's 1857 publication, A History of Pottery and Porcelain, praised the Locré factory's craftsmanship, describing its porcelain as "white and very translucent," with decorations "painted and decorated in the best taste."
