Sarreguemines Porcelain - Obernai Pattern

Description: This listing is for a set of five (5) Sarreguemines Porcelain - Obernai pattern soup plates. Each plate is approximately 8¼ inches in diameter. The outside edge of each plate is a scalloped border. Inside the scalloped border are 3 flowered clusters, the same on each plate. The name H. Loux appears on the front of all 5 plates. Each plate depicts a different scene. The scenes on the plates are: Man with a walking stick dressed in black herds sheep. Two women on a path leading to a church on a hill appear on this plate. A rock cottage on a quiet path. A man waits while his white and brown horses drink from a cool pond. A large green gate leads to a village. From the web: Sarreguemines earthenware is a ceramic production that developed from 1790 to 2007 in the French city of Sarreguemines. During the First World War, Sarreguemines produced the famous patriotic earthenware by the French artist Madeleine Zillhardt, whose work Fluctuat nec mergitur (Paris bombed, swear not to forget) is now on display at the Air and Space Museum to commemorate the Great War. In 1919, after the First World War, the unit was reconstituted under the name of Sarreguemines-Digoin-Vitry-le-François and was administered by the Cazal family. During the Second World War, the earthenware factory was sequestered and its management entrusted to Villeroy & Boch from 1942 to 1945. In 1978, following a takeover bid, the manufacture was bought by the Lunéville-Badonviller-Saint-Clément group. This was the decisive turning point in the history of earthenware in Sarreguemines. The new management abandoned the design of tableware in 1979. On 9 January 2007, the court ordered the liquidation and the end of the activity on 1 February 2007. The Sarreguemines earthenware factory no longer exists. The Lunéville-Saint-Clément manufacture continues to produce some of the models that made it famous, including the famous "Obernai" service decorated by Henri Loux. The plates are in excellent condition. There is an imperfection on the edge of one plate that appears to be a manufacturing defect (see photo), otherwise I found no other chips, cracks, or chigger bites. The plates have crazing due to the age. The plastic display holder is not included in the listing. These plates are being stored in a smoke-free home. I will carefully pack them up to protect them in transit. I ship to any US Zip Code, including APO/FPO and I combine shipping whenever possible.
