Late 18th Century Dagoty French Porcelain Plate Cobalt Blue Children Playing
About the Item
We are pleased to offer this extraordinary Dagoty porcelain plate showing children playing.
The happy children are joined by their dog in a scene painted in grisaille.
On this plate, the border of deep cobalt blue is lavishly gilded in a dramatic geometric pattern.
As we see here, burnished gilt was another hallmark of Dagoty porcelains.
The formal border juxtaposes the informal scene of the children at play with the geometric design.
This type of contrast is typically French, and only the French made porcelains with this particular type of sophisticated contrast.
Romanticism had a strong influence on the Dagoty porcelains of the last decade of the 18th century. Anecdotal scenes, indoor scenes, and scenes showing children's games replaced neoclassical subjects.
The new themes were more human and had a much less rigid atmosphere.
Condition: Excellent
Diameter: 8 inches

Background:
The Paris retail shop was on the Boulevard Montmartre.
The Dagoty factory made hard paste porcelain. The factory was in the Rue de Chevreuse, Paris, leased for nine years in 1800 by brothers Pierre-Louis (1771-1840) and Etienne-Jean-Baptiste Dagoty (1772-1800). Pierre-Louis became sole owner in 1804, and in 1807 the lease was renewed for a further nine years. The factory was under the protection of the Empress Josephine and supplied porcelain for Versailles. In 1816, Dagoty went into partnership with Edouard Honoré. The partnership was dissolved in 1820. Products were of high quality with painting backgrounds in attractive colors and lavish gilding.
