This Victorian Minton pate-sur-pate porcelain plaque dates from 1890 and depicts a scene of classical cherub figures in white relief against a dark olive background. Signed by Marc Louis Solon along the base line, the composition includes white figures reading notice boards marked Notice, Reward, and Wanted, flanked by decorative urn motifs and ladders. The artwork is set within a stepped, moulded ebonised and gilt wooden frame with glazed protection. The visible porcelain panel measures 18 cm by 29 cm, whilst the entire framed object has dimensions of 26 cm high, 38 cm wide, and 2 cm deep. Suitable for period interiors, this piece provides a refined focal point when mounted on a wall in a living room, study, or hallway, or placed above a sideboard. The dark brown panel and white relief create a striking contrast that complements traditional and classical decorative schemes. Two small metal hanging attachments are positioned along the lower edge of the frame support for display purposes.

FAQs

Pate-sur-pate, meaning paste-on-paste, is a French porcelain decoration method developed at Sevres in the mid-19th century and perfected by British manufacturers such as Minton under artists like Marc-Louis Solon.

Artists build up designs using unfired liquid porcelain slip, applied layer by layer with a brush onto an unglazed coloured porcelain body, before carving detail into the translucent raised areas prior to firing.

Authentic pieces exhibit translucent depth in the raised white slip, showing varying degrees of the background colour underneath, along with impressed factory marks or artist initials typical of late Victorian manufacture.

A framed ceramic plaque can be hung as a focal point within a gallery wall or positioned above traditional furniture to introduce tactile classical narrative art to a modern room scheme.

Dust the porcelain and frame gently using a dry, soft-bristled brush, avoiding water, chemical cleaners, or moisture that could seep behind the frame mount or damage ebonised surfaces.
