Description: Antique French Creil & Montereau Porcelain Plate, Signed “Lebeuf, Milliet & Cie”, Snowy Winter Landscape with Church and Woman This antique French colored porcelain plate is decorated in the center with a snowy winter landscape with a woman walking along a path leading to a wooden church. The cutwork border is designed in a basketwork pattern. The back bears the embossed number “5” along with the impressed mark of the manufacturer, “Lebeuf, Milliet & Cie. Porcelaine Opaque. Creilet Montereau. Médaille d’or 1834, 39, 44 et 49”. The company known as Lebeuf, Milliet et Cie. manufactured the famous Creil and Montereau porcelain between 1841 and 1876. The porcelain factories in Creil, north of Paris, founded in the 18th century, were mentioned by Flaubert in his celebrated novel, “A Sentimental Education”. In 1840 they joined together with those of Montereau, east of Paris, also founded in the 18th century, forming a single company. Winners of numerous awards, Creil et Montereau specialized in what was known as “faïence dure” or “porcelaine opaque”, a hard paste porcelain achieved by the addition of feldspar and kaolin to the traditional formula created by Wedgwood. This plate shows an old repair on the border and signs of great age and use. Please refer to the detailed photos on this page.
