A pair of mid-to-late 18th-century French faïence plates from La Rochelle, each decorated with a tulip in yellow and manganese, surrounded by further flowers, foliage and insects in green and blue. The edge is delicately shaped, while the lip is adorned with a frieze of florals and foliage.
The off-centred placement of the tulips lends each plate a relaxed elegance, while the lush shapes of the petals is highlighted by painterly colours. A rare pair, with a textured glaze and elegant decoration.
