* Émile GALLÉ (1846-1904). - Lot 78
* Émile GALLÉ (1846-1904). Decorative plate in tin-glazed earthenware with stylized painted enamel decoration in blue monochrome of two crosses of Lorraine and a thistle flower surrounding an emblematic gate by Jean Lamour of the Place Stanislas (1751-1755) with its worked uprights and its wrought-iron and gilded lantern; the entrance arch framing the statue of the Good King and thus putting the Place Stanislas in Nancy in perspective. Handwritten signature painted on reverse. Diameter: 26 cm. (An enamel chip at the edge). René II d'Anjou, Duke of Lorraine, adopted the thistle emblem for Lorraine and added the motto: "Ne toquès mi, je poins", which became "Qu'y s'y frotte s'y pique". Bibliography: La Société des Amis de la Bibliothèque et du musée de Saint-Dié-des-Vosges, La Faïencerie de Raon-l'Etape, Éditions privées, 2010: a teapot reproduced on p. 73.
