"Langeais Faience Planter"
Superb piece in Langeais earthenware signed Charles De Boissimon Langeais (Indre et Loire). This model is typical of the production of this factory which was active between 1839 and 1909. It is adorned with interlacing imitating basketry, mobile rings and of bunches and leaves of grapes with platinum decoration. Platinum, an unalterable and stainless metal that was very affordable in the 19th century, gives these earthenware an incomparable shine.
