French asparagus plates, set of 4, St Clément, Aesthetic Movement, 19th century

About the Item

Discover a stunning piece of Aesthetic Movement French faïence: an asparagus plate by Keller & Guérin, St. Clément, circa 1890–1900, in the Art Nouveau style. This exquisite plate features a captivating border of chrysanthemum flower heads encircling three asparagus spears, elegantly dividing the plate into three sections: one for the spears, one for sauce, and one for waste. This plate is featured in Maryse Bottero's book "Artichauts et Asperges en Barbotine", where it is recognized for its authenticity and elegance. The plate bears the distinctive maker's mark on the reverse, a testament to its prestigious origin. Founded by Jacques Chambrette in 1758, the St. Clément pottery boasts a rich history of producing traditional French faïence. The factory was managed by Charles Loyal, Paul Louis Cyfflé, and architect Richard Mique before being acquired by Keller and Guérin at the beginning of the 19th century. From the 1860s, St. Clément began producing majolica pieces for about forty years, renowned for their subtle color shading. St. Clément majolica includes a variety of figural pieces such as rooster and duck-shaped pitchers, as well as various vases and asparagus and artichoke plates. These pieces are often marked with an impressed 'SAINT CLEMENT' and may also include the letters 'KG' for Keller and Guérin, indicating their quality and provenance. Indulge in this unique piece that combines history, art, and functionality, adding a touch of elegance to your collection or dining table.
