For one thing, it depicts a cyclist; cycling was a huge hype around 1900, so the design cleverly tapped into the trend of the era. But there is also a question printed at the bottom of the plate: \"Where is my companion?\" This question was intended to spark conversation during meals, and with a little imagination, one could find the answer within the design itself. Can you spot the cyclist's companion?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is in lovely condition, so if you have others like it, you could certainly use it as a breakfast plate; personally, however, I think it looks wonderful displayed on the wall alongside other decorative plates. And a guaranteed nice game to play with your guests, see if they can spot the cyclist's companion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: Saint Amand et Hamage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Champêtre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e: France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e circa 1900\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Earthenware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: ø 20 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e: Very good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Vintage by Lexie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58726667682166,"sku":null,"price":14.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/3853\/0678\/files\/ADF165B7-692C-42FE-90A4-7BB5F9E70EAA_1_105_c.jpg?v=1789473248","url":"https:\/\/vintagebylexie.com\/en\/products\/rare-antique-french-faience-plate-saint-amand-1900","provider":"Vintage by Lexie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
