Earthenware tray with 2 handles from the Sinceny factory, 18th century. In the center of the tray, polychrome decoration with pagoda and flowers. Above, bird and dragonfly. On the sides of the handles, there are scoliopandres. In the Guillibaud taste, the outline of the dish is made of green stripes. S mark on the back Dimensions: 37.5cm x 26cm height: 4cm in very good condition, small enamel chip on a corner Sinceny is a large village admirably located on a hill overlooking the Oise valley, a small league from Chauny. The ceramic industry was important there until the end of the 19th century, Doctor Warmont reminding us in a writing from 1864 that there were still, at that time, 3 earthenware factories, as well as a porcelain factory. The products of this industry, very widespread in the region and neighboring regions, were long forgotten because of the analogy they present with the products of more famous factories, because the Sinceny factory imitated, like so many others at its beginnings, the highly prized Rouen earthenware.
