STRASBOURG, Early 18th century

Paradoxically, Strasbourg, a major center of pottery and pewter goldsmithing, hardly produced this type of plateware; to my knowledge, these two examples are the only ones to have appeared on the market in the last forty years... One of the two, mentioned in the old Vialle collection, is reproduced with its coat of arms in "La poterie d'étain en France" by Roger Verdier, volume 6, page 54, reference 756. In very good condition and of good quality, some pitting is however noted.
No research into the attribution of the coat of arms has been undertaken.
