7 antique octagonal side plates - Creil & Montereau 7"

Dating from the late-nineteenth century, a lovely set of seven octagonal earthenware side plates. They have timeworn white glaze and a pretty pearl around the edge. Made by the faience Creil & Montereau. Chips and losses as seen in photos.

Creil & Montereau is a renowned French pottery manufacturer, established in the early 19th century from the merger of two distinct factories: the Creil factory, founded in 1797 by Saint-Cricq Casaux in the Oise region, and the Montereau factory, founded in 1774 in Seine-et-Marne. The merger in 1840 brought together the strengths of both factories, leading to the production of high-quality earthenware and ceramics known for their innovative designs and artistic decoration. The company's products became highly sought after both in France and internationally, contributing significantly to the reputation of French ceramics in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Creil & Montereau remained influential in the ceramics industry until its decline in the mid-20th century.
