Sometimes it is about the ‘Look’. I looked at this tray and my mind was taken back to Fornasetti and then was dragged further back to France rather than Italy, to Paris rather than Milano. A solid piece of Paris porcelain. Square. A Romantic scene of a young galant losing his heart to a sweet young thing, while three putti are hiding naughtily in the undergrowth. All in Grisaille : overglaze transfer printed. Unmarked. C. 1840.
Un plateau de déjeuner en porcelaine de Paris à décor d'une scène galante appliqué par transfert reprenant des gravures du XIXe siècle, en grisaille.
A great drinks tray. Cheers !!!

Many thanks for those kind comments KIVATINITZ. You’re right of course that Italy didn’t unify until 1861. The tray is really quite old. I. Love it.

this is hot plate pressing grisaille aint it
1840 ? well you could be right i thought the second restauration delayed romanticism in france ,
posiutioning is right , not much fading, not overemphazing, the shading , this is excellent
