EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th century plate, adorned with the coat of arms of Clermont-Ferrand, is a beautiful example of French heraldic art. The plate, which is a hand-finished chromolithograph from the "General History of Ancient French and Foreign Glazed Pottery" by Ris Paquet, published in Paris in 1874, showcases the rich history and cultural heritage of Clermont-Ferrand, a city located in the Auvergne region of France. At the center of the plate, a shield is prominently displayed, bearing the coat of arms of Clermont-Ferrand. The shield is quartered, with the first and fourth quarters representing the city's ancient origins, featuring a golden castle on a blue background and three golden fleurs-de-lis on a red background, respectively. The second and third quarters represent the city's later history, with a silver eagle on a red background and a gold eagle on a blue background, respectively. The plate is surrounded by a decorative border, featuring the city's motto, "Dum Fata Negent," which translates to "While the Fates Neglect," a reminder of the city's resilience and determination in the face of adversity. Two playful dogs, symbolizing loyalty and protection, flank the shield, adding to the overall charm and elegance of the design. The plate's intricate details and vibrant colors are a testament to the skill and artistry of the hand-finished chromolithograph process, which was popular during the 19th century. The plate's porcelain surface adds to its elegance and durability, making it a valuable and decorative piece of antique pottery. Overall, this plate is a beautiful representation of the rich history and cultural heritage of Clermont-Ferrand, and a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the Ris Paquet publishing house.
