In some ways it is similar to the technique to create lithophanes. Around each rim are scenes of riders on horseback and camel trains with delicate backgrounds of castles, a ship at sea and forests. The centre decorations are different scenes of European lakes and lakeside buildings. The patent for this technique was taken out in 1827 by Baron Amable, who later set up a factory in Rubelles with Baron Alexis du Tremblay whose initials appear in the mark on the base. The diameter of these plates is 210 mm (8.25 inches). A new glaze was introduced in 1852 that was later found to be easily scratched and the amount of light scratches on the glaze to the centres indicate that these plates probably date from the period 1852-1857. The factory closed in 1857.The price you see is the price you pay becauseall sales include FREE shipping.Any applicable sale tax will automatically be applied when ordering.All Items ship USPS Ground Advantage so you get it FAST!
