(lot of 12) French faience fish service, MBFA Pornic, with various hand-painted sea creature motifs, three unique designs, most with maker's mark underfoot, including: (11) plates, approx 10"l, 10"w; (1) large platter, approx 24"l, 10.5"w; 19lbs total

02.12.24: In my opinion regarding LOT 028: I note that all plates and the serving tray are fully intact, the plates exhibit inherent glaze loss where the kiln stilts supported the ceramic during firing process, and some have minute glaze pops, and small glaze skips to the foot ring (also commensurate with positioning within kiln), the serving platter has some minute use wear such as light scuffs or discoloration of the foot ring, I do not presently observe chips or fractures to any of the pieces of the set, and all would benefit from a gentle cleaning
