Description

This description has been translated and may not be completely accurate. Click here to see the original

This set comprises 12 dessert plates in Longwy enamel. Each plate is unique and features a flowering shrub accompanied by an insect in Japanese style. Their refined decoration can be used to set an elegant table or as wall decorations.
The plates feature butterflies, dragonflies, bees and cherry blossoms. Longwy enamels form a floral motif in the center of each plate, while the outline is adorned with insects. Each plate is marked "Émaux de Longwy" on the back and is hand-decorated. It also bears the inscription "décor à la main rehaussé A.M.".
Enhancers are true artists, as their job is to add a second layer of enamel (gasoline- or water-based) over the first layer to give dimension and relief to the design. The quality of the enhancement contributes greatly to the beauty of each piece. These plates bear the initials "A.M." for MASSON André, who practiced his art between November 16, 1942 and September 15, 1946.
It's important to note that Émaux de Longwy is a type of glazed ceramic whose technique and know-how are part of France's intangible cultural heritage.

The set comprises 12 plates in good condition, with the exception of one with a small chip, visible in the last photo. Overall, the plates are in good condition and measure 17.5 cm in diameter.
