About the Item
A set of six French rebus puzzle dessert plates, transfer printed in black on a white earthenware body. When solved, the picture puzzle spells out a wise saying or maxim, 19th century.
From the early 1800s-early 1900s, most French homes had a set of rebus dessert plates. Solving the puzzle provided entertainment and conversation to the table after a traditionally long meal. The solution to each puzzle is printed on the verso of the plate.
A double band of French blue lining borders a raised shell form embossed rim with the rebus in the center of the plate,
circa 1841-1876, marked Creil et Montereau.
