So typically French! Inspired by the French love of humor Assiettes Parlantes, or “talking plates” are French transfer ware plates with French sayings on them. Story plates, or "Assiettes Parlantes" {talking plates} were quite popular and produced by many fine faience houses in the mid to late 1800's.
These plates are the darlings of designers and collectors alike, as they are wonderful to display in a hutch, hang on the wall flanking an antique French mirror, or placed on stands on a mantel.
