Plate (France)
This is a plate. It was designed by Joseph Théodore Deck. It is dated ca. 1870 and we acquired it in 1931. Its medium is glazed earthenware. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.
While the Hewitt sisters rarely bought objects that were even close to contemporary, this plate is an exception. Joseph-Théodore Deck, who became director of Sèvres in 1887, was an innovator in ceramics. His glazes produced strong colors and a variety of effects, including the appearance of champlevé enamel in this plate.
This object was featured in our Object of the Week series in a post titled An Inherited Innovation.
