Item 10461
 
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is  this wonderful French Cabinet Plate made and stamped by P. & H. Choisy with a Shield Mark.  This company worked in France from 1820-1836.  
 
This beauty features a Canary Yellow Glaze, Floral Trim, and a Center Transfer Print of Telemachus, son of Ulysses of Homer's Odyssey, enslaved as a shepherd being comforted by Termosiris, a Priest of the god Apollo.  This scene comes from the Adventures of Telemachus by Francois Fenelon published in 1699 as a critique of autocratic government.  The book was extremely popular in the 1700's and 1800's.  
 
Excellent Condition.  Some wear and scratches on the underside.  That's it!  No chips, hairlines, cracks, stains, or restoration.  Remarkable for being a plate that is 200 years old.
