The Sarreguemines pottery factory was established in 1790 in the town of Sarreguemines, Lorraine, France. The "Perse" pattern reflects the 19th-century European fascination with Or ientalism, where art and design were heavily influenced by Eastern aesthetics. These plates were inspired by Persian art and culture, which is reflected in the name "Perse," meaning "Persia" in French. Traditionally, these plates would have been presented towards the end of a meal, aiming to spark dialogue and amuse guests. Now, they make the most beautiful and unique set of hanging plates. Sold as a set of 6. Please note the signs of wear consistent with age and some discolouration. dimensions: 7.75"dia x 1"H Show more
