Set of Five Antique French Transferware Plates – Les Plaisirs de la Chasse, c.1850s

A charming set of five 19th-century French faïence plates from the whimsical series Les Plaisirs de la Chasse (“The Pleasures of the Hunt”). Each plate features a finely detailed black transfer illustration capturing humorous hunting scenes — a satirical take on the everyday misadventures of the French countryside.

 The raised floral borders and softly aged glaze lend each piece its own character and patina. Together, they tell a story of laughter, tradition, and the art of conversation around the French table.

Perfect for display, wall art, or for collectors of antique French faïence and transferware.
