Unlike most flat transferware, the blank is molded in relief, with a scalloped, shell-fluted rim, and the soft blue transfer of trailing flowers, rococo scrollwork, and dotted garlands follows the raised surface. The body has an allover crazing consistent with its age. An easy, useful size for serving or for display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistorical Context\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaint-Amand-les-Eaux, in the Nord, was one of the great French ceramic centers, and the Saint-Amand et Hamage works produced transfer-printed terre de fer for the everyday French table. Transfer printing let the factory lay a finely detailed pattern onto a durable fine earthenware body, which is how patterns like Régence reached households across France. These are the serving pieces of the turn-of-the-century French kitchen, and the soft blue color has made them quietly collected for French country and cottage interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyling Ideas\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLean it on a shelf or plate rail to show the scalloped rim and the trailing floral print.
