I was given some plates and as was looking through them I stumbled on to these three strange looking plates. I looked on line just curious of where they came from and what the pictures meant. All the work from the same logo seem so different from the ones I found. I was not able to find any info on the plates I found. Anyone have a idea of when they were made and what the pictures mean? They all have the bent arrow like logo on the back. All of them have a saying on the back in French I'm guessing. They are numbered on front and back. They also seem to have a six and a zero stamped into the back of the plate. The stamped numbers seem to have no order as one is one under neath the other. The other one is side by side.
Possibility "Criel and Montereau" France ??
What is written on the front of the plate, near the bottom?
Just slightly different: "Creil & Montereau".

Above is 'LM & Co.' ..... The company became "Creil and Montereau Faïenceries" in 1840 under the name Lebeuf, Milliet & Co. (LM & Co.), until 1876.
There's another plate here on CW:

I can read "Pygmalion devient amoureux de as propre statue, il y a vraiment de ....".
The last word escapes me.
Q or g guoi is the last word.
Another says
Jupiter a eu une drole didee de changer la nymphs to en vache dans sa figure Elle Navratilova risen due laif
And the last is
Mercure dieu des voleurs cest pourguoi il a des ailes a la tite at a use pieds
Thank you for the info you found.
Pygmalion devient amoureux de sa propre statue, il y a vraiment de quoi"
I think your Mystery is now solved.....in less than a hour
Great plates !!!
Jupiter a eu une drôle d'idée de changer la nymphe en vache
Mercure Dieu des voleurs. C'est pourquoi il a des ailes à la tete et aux pieds.
