EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite plate, dating back to the late 17th or early 18th century, is a true testament to the craftsmanship of its creator at Saint Jean du Desert Factory in Marseille. The plate showcases the rich heritage art of Europe and represents a significant era in history. The intricate design on this ceramic piece features a stunning floral pattern with vibrant blue hues that catch the eye. The delicate glaze adds an elegant touch, enhancing its decorative appeal. A coat of arms blazon can be seen proudly displayed at the center, symbolizing the heraldic traditions of France. As we admire this artifact, we are transported back in time to when crockery was not just functional but also an expression of artistic skill and cultural identity. This plate serves as a reminder of how craftsmanship played an essential role in everyday life during this period. Currently housed at the Art Institute Chicago, this exhibition allows visitors to appreciate and learn about European applied arts from centuries ago. It provides us with a glimpse into another continent's history and offers insight into French culture through their homeware designs. With its meticulous attention to detail and historical significance, this Plate from Marseille is truly a treasure worth cherishing for generations to come.
