Histoire des faïences patriotiques sous la révolution
A French study by Champfleury, published in Paris by E. Dentu in 1867, on patriotic earthenware made during the Revolution, illustrated with engravings of individual plates. The pictures show plates seen face-on and at an angle, with rims, borders and central emblems such as Phrygian caps, fleurs-de-lis, a crowned monogram, and a horseman in a medallion. A designer could take from them the decorative logic of revolutionary tableware: symmetrical rims, ringed central medallions and small emblematic motifs arranged within a circle.
