“Les Fontaines” Single China Plate from 1925 Paris Exposition des Arts Décoratifs by Johnson Bros
This single 10 inch plate features a delicately stylized and iconic fountain motif at the center of the piece, surrounded by vibrant enameled floral sprays in turquoise, ochre, and umber tones. The crisp ivory glaze is typical of the Pareek line, known for its fine semi-porcelain finish with hand painted embellishment. The piece is clearly marked: "Les Fontaines" – Paris Exposition 1925, bearing the Johnson Bros. crown hallmark.
It is not only a striking example of early 20th-century craftsmanship but also a direct link to the international showcase that launched the Art Deco movement now celebrating its Centennial.
A rare find for collectors of 1920s design, specialty ceramics, or anyone seeking a direct connection to the golden age of decorative arts. It is ready to use and enjoy!
This plate is very good condition with some slight crazing . It will show beautifully as a wall plaque or a special dining/serving plate.
