Antique 1800's Set of 14 Sevres Macé porcelain plates Gold ribbon pattern pink roses, center medallion,Excellent condition wedding china
$1,400.00
Antique mid-late 1800's set of 14 Sevres Louis Aimé Césaire Macé porcelain plates Gold ribbon pattern pink roses, center medallion in Excellent condition with just some light wear in a few spots on the gold edges. I think that the gold ribbon and medallion sections are transfer chromolitographies and the roses hand painted. The plates are 8 1/4" so would be for perfect for lunch or cakes and such for dessert. Perfect for elegant wedding china to dress up and mix in with simple gold banded pieces. Very rare to find a set of so many plates so I am keeping them together for now and if they don't sell in a few months I will make them available by the piece. There is an extra plate that has two chips on the edge and it will be included free of charge.
Louis Aimé Césaire Macé owned a shop in Paris as well as a ceramic decoration studio based in Auteuil. He is known as inventor of the process of transfering chromolitographies on porcelain and faience. The technology was invented in 1847.
Mace's work was recognized during the Exposition Universelle of 1855. He was awarded the honorable mention for decorating Sevres porcelain. He also participated at the London World's Fair in 1862. In 1860s he exported 60 percent of production.
At the next Exposition Universelle in Paris (1867) he was awarded a silver medal for "ceramic chromography". He also participated in the Exposition Universelle of 1878 and the World Fair of 1889.
I use standard industry quality descriptions for vintage and antique items but if you have questions please just ask. These will be packed very carefully and double boxed for safety.
Most of my items come out of estates on Martha's Vineyard and some from other places in New England. The island of Martha's Vineyard where I have lived for the past 18 years is home to many old original families of sea captains and sailors so fascinating things come up when there are estate sales. Please check my other listings. I am putting up a large collection of glassware, china, linens and postcards that I have gotten over the years out of these estates. I try to do a lot of research and give good descriptions but I am not an expert in everything so please ask questions or if you know something about a piece and are willing to add your input into my listings please contact me!
I am happy to combine shipping on multiple items if possible. I will ship internationally but please contact me for the shipping cost before bidding. 6.25% sales tax on bidders from Massachusettes. Please check my other new listings over the next couple of days. Returns are welcome if item is not as described, refund for item cost only. I take very detailed photos and give good descriptions. Please see all pics and enlarge to see details. Ask me any questions before purchasing.
