With light blue rim decorated with gilt leaves and three cartouches with floral motif. The center of the plate depicts a village street food vendor engaged in a conversation with a peasant. With a wooden frame. Jean-Pierre Feuillet was born in 1777 as the son of the pastry chef for the Prince de Condé. The prince ran a school in his chateau outside Paris in Chantilly, and Jean-Pierre learned to paint there. In 1814 he set up his own porcelain decoration studio at the Rue de la Paix, under protection of the Prince. Later his nephew extended this with a second studio nearby in the Impasse Sandrié. They used blanks from several Paris porcelain factories, including the famous Nast and the Darte Frères. The Atelier Feuillet would grow out to one of the best porcelain decoration shops in France, specially appointed as suppliers to the aristocracy, and churning out huge quantities of top-quality tableware, vases and other decorative items. Marked on the back in brown ink. Ca. 19th century.
