Rue Cuelenaere ironstone street plaque
A large and heavy early 20thC ironstone earthenware street plaque, reading Rue Cuelenaere in bold black letters on a thick white glazed slab that has chamfered edges. One of the only roads of this name appears to be in the town of Douai, Northern France.
A very decorative piece with attractive glaze crazing and wear, the classically stylised lettering has a reddish brown hint to the applied dark glaze that was used.
Dimensions:
39.8cm x 29cm x 2cm thick
Condition:
There is some surface chipping around three of the mounting holes, along with heavy glaze crazing. Otherwise it is in nice, original condition with light age related wear, but no cracks or losses.
International buyers & combined shipping
International buyers (outside of the UK) - When you add an item to your cart you can select a shipping destination and the postage will be calculated. Usually this is correct, but for multiple purchases and larger items it is advisable to enquire before purchasing, as shipping is based on rough estimates to different regions and may vary to that stated. You may 'buy it now' with the shipping cost calculated, but if this is incorrect we may contact you after purchase. We will either issue a refund for the difference, or request for a remaining postage balance to be paid, either way we will always contact you before any changes are made. Our standard postage costs include tracking where possible and usually require a signature upon receipt, please also include a contact phone number when ordering. Postage to P.O. boxes must be enquired about before purchase as many shippers do not deliver to them.
