Chardon French Plate

A striking antique French polychrome plate by E. Bourgeois, beautifully adorned with a vibrant thistle motif.

Rich in color and detail, the hand-applied polychrome decoration brings the botanical design to life — deep greens, soft lavenders, and warm earthy tones set against a creamy ground. The elegant composition reflects the refined artistry of Parisian faience, while subtle age marks add warmth and authenticity.

Both decorative and collectible, this piece makes a stunning statement layered into a wall display, propped on open shelving, or mixed with other antique transferware and ironstone.

Perfect for:

Layering into a French country plate wall

Adding color to open shelving or a hutch

Mixing with botanical or floral ceramics
