With polychrome decoration in the center of topographic landscapes in a gold medallion, the wing of a frieze in two shades of gold of heads of flowers and palmettes interspersed standing out on a dark blue background (minor wear). According to the publication in 1906 of Count X. de Chavagnac and Marquis de Grollier, History of French porcelain factories, the factory of Foëscy (or Foëcy), was in the village of the same name, located in Berry. From a brick factory created in 1799 by Benjamin Klein, and installed in the outbuildings of the castle, it became in 1802 with the help of Mr. Deville a porcelain factory. Under the Restoration, it had a warehouse at 45 rue du Faubourg Saint-Martin; it was transferred under the July Monarchy to 5 Passage Violet (rue du Faubourg Poissonnière), then to 41 rue des Petites Écuries around 1840. Bought by their associate Jean-Louis-Richard Pillyvuit around 1819, it was transferred by his son, in 1854, to Mehun-sur-Yèvre; the latter finally sold it to the company Albert Pillyvuit et Compagnie (APILCO). In 1936, the factory, still located in the outbuildings of the castle, was closed when the Deshoulières group bought it and transferred the brand, the formulas and the molds to Chauvigny. The decorations painted on these plates are not identified, but some of them probably represent the castles of Pierrefonds, Rambouillet and Chillon (Switzerland). D: 23 cm
