The reverse with impressed crowned shield marks and the red pattern numbers "1765" and "8."
Paar porseleinen borden met de Heilige Maagd en Christus, door Société Céramique.
Société Céramique, Maastricht.
Paar porseleinen borden met met de hand geschilderde portretten: één met de Heilige Maagd met blauwe sluier, de ander met Christus met doornenkroon, beide afgebeeld tegen een warme goudkleurige achtergrond. De borden tonen fijn uitgewerkte gelaatsuitdrukkingen en zachte toonmodulatie, kenmerkend voor devotioneel porselein uit deze periode. Keerzijde met ingedrukte gekroonde schildmerken en rode decoratienummers “1765” en “8”.
23.5 cm. Diameter.
Note:
Société Céramique was an important Maastricht ceramic factory active between 1859 and 1958. It specialized in both utilitarian and decorative wares, often incorporating religious imagery into porcelain and faience production during the 19th century. Religious plates like these, combining refined portraiture with a devotional function, were typically displayed in private homes or small chapels. Maastricht was a major center of ceramic production in the Netherlands during this period, with Société Céramique playing a central role.
