Gien Chaumont Chateux de la Loire Made in France Faience 5" Maroon / White Mini Plates. Excellent pre-owned condition. 2 plates available. Purchase 1 or both. Each measures approximately 5 1/8" in diameter. The Châteaux de la Loire in France encompass an incredible 400 fascinating castle complexes. Domaine de Chaumont-Sur-Loire depicted on these plates is one of the most well-known castles. The plates are made of faience, a fine, porous earthenware which is tin-glazed and then fired repeatedly. The sophisticated refinement of the resulting faience is what distinguishes it from other kinds of ceramic. Numerous work steps are necessary to produce a Gien piece.
