A set of six French faïence transfer printed creamware “assiette parlante” or talking plates, produced by P&H Choisy, Seine, France – circa 1824-1836. Transfer printed in black with six different courting scenes sourced from the lithographs by Jean Gabriel Scheffer (1797-1876). Scheffer was a Swiss school painter and lithographer active in Paris from 1822 to 1846. He produced humorous lithographs illustrating Paris customs and manners. His original 1826-28 lithographs of the scenes that decorate these plates can be found in the Musée Carnevalet collection in Paris. Bordered with an egg and dart rim, an inner border of entwined roses and leaves. They are numbered one to six and inscribed on the front as follows: 1. Il est passé — ai-je eu peur (He passed – I was scared) 2. J’ai trop peur!.. (I’m too afraid!..) 3. …Moi! je n’ai rien avec lui. (…Me! I have nothing with him.) 4. Nous serons comme frere et soeur. (We will be like brother and sister.) 5. Tu ne’es pas gentil ce soir. (You’re not nice tonight.) 6. Dieu, que je suis lasse! (God, how tired I am) Five of the six plates have a Sotheby’s Parke-Bernet (SPB) paper label on the verso. Parke-Bernet, an American auction...
