  • Offered is this exceptional 'Époque Premier Empire' circa 1810 , rare, STONE, COQUEREL ET LE GROS (Paris) 1 5/8" (4.5 cm) deep x 11 3/8" (29cm) diameter  beautifully designed fine transferware / gilt charger.
  • Given that LE GROS came from Creil it is more than likely that the blank came from that house as Stone,Coquerol and le Gros were primarily (exceptional) ceramic decorators*.
  • *Circling the company's mark on the bottom of the piece is stated ' PAR BREVET D'INVENTION ; MANUFure de DÉCORS sur PORCELAINE. FAIENCE Rd '. Inside reads ' STONE,  COQUEROL ET LE GROS / PARIS '.
  • Also marked, separate from the circle mark described, is the underlined number ' 9 ' AND in just inside the second of the two 1/4" deep inset rims underneath, can be faintly seen an 'e' or large 'L' like flourish or swirl (an 'L' for Le Gros ?)
  • Inner rim is c. 1 3/4" ( 4.5 cm) /Lower c.1/2" (1.25cm)
  • Unpacked weight 1lb 9ozs.
  • This piece part of a group which featured Parisian sites of importance, in this case a very significant one,  the ' COURT DU LOUVRE ' (the courtyard of the Louvre), created beautifully in sepia.
  • Not only are the two transferware designs encircling this piece, one of 'grape & vine arbor', the other an almost Nautilus shell or clover bud likeness ***, are both of exceptional quality but also the joints are, to all intents and purposes, invisible, a high degree of skill which, I believe,  is quite rare on early transferware.
  • *** This design can be felt ,with the fingertip, as it is slightly raised from the surface.
  • Besides the rim there are three large gilt bands. The wrinkles in the gold leaf can be easily seen and, at first glance appear as scratches in sharp comparison to the virtually ** unscratched porcelain.(**a few slight in firing 'fleabite' / 'pockmark'  blemishes can be seen on the clear porcelain, inside base area.
  • In remarkable condition given the piece's approximate 200 year age.
  • According to research a 'set' of this  'china' is to be seen at (Lord) Harewood ('s) house in West Yorkshire, England. T
  • I have located some pieces of this pattern on the internet but nothing even close in appeal to this magnificent charger !
