This pair of large dishes is a remarkable piece from the Manufacture de Sèvres, dating from 1867 and signed by Théodore Deck, who was director of this prestigious factory. These dishes were made under Deck's supervision, but painted by J. Lagrain, thus bringing an artistic collaboration to their creation.
The dishes are adorned with cherubs, emblematic motifs of Sèvres porcelain, representing the elegance and grace characteristic of the period. The cherubs are finely painted, adding a touch of delicacy and charm to these pieces.
Unfortunately, one of the dishes has a firing defect on the back, as well as a slight defect on the back of one of the rims. These imperfections, though present, in no way detract from the beauty and artistic value of these dishes, but rather testify to the complexity of the porcelain manufacturing process.
With a weight of around 1 kg and a diameter of 30 cm, these dishes are both imposing and elegant, perfect for displaying on a table or chest of drawers, where they will catch the eye.
This pair of large dishes represents a precious testimony to the craftsmanship of Sèvres porcelain under the direction of Théodore Deck, and will be a remarkable addition to any collection of fine art or porcelain.
