The mark—“Faïences, Porcelaines, Cristaux – Grand Dépôt E. Bourgeois – 21 Rue Drouot Paris \/ 33 Rue St Féréol Marseille”—identifies the Bourgeois store as a distributor, not the original manufacturer. The Grand Dépôt sourced fine ceramics and tableware from France’s best faïenceries and ironstone producers, then branded them for retail sale in its Paris and Marseille locations.The plate’s cobalt blue garland motif and plain centre reflect the refined neoclassical influences popular in French design around 1880–1910. Crafted in durable terre de fer (ironstone), pieces like this balanced practicality with quiet sophistication. Because the mark denotes a retail house rather than a factory, pattern names were rarely recorded, making each example a small mystery of French decorative history. Today, Grand Dépôt tableware is prized for its understated elegance, fine craftsmanship, and connection to one of Paris’s most celebrated purveyors of artful domestic design.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"elsie green","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50601141993718,"sku":"68605-997","price":119.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2336\/3701\/files\/transferware-soup-bowl-set-of-5-french-kitchen-elsie-green-5702377.jpg?v=1778718076","url":"https:\/\/elsiegreen.com\/products\/labrador-transferware-dinner-plate-set-of-4-copy","provider":"elsie green","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
