These plates comes from a service which belonged to Jerome Napoleon, King of Westphalia. The plates, with a white background are painted with small sprigs of scatted flowers in polychrome colours and glazed. At the top, painted in garlands of flower under a laurel wreath, are the initials JN for Jerome Napoleon. The flowers were probably painted by Henry George Rolff, (1740-1817) who specialized in this style from the late 1770s.
Pieces from this service were exhibited in 'König Lustik - Jerome Bonaparte and the Model State of the Kingdom of Westphalia' , in 2008 at the Fridericianum Museum, Cassel, Germany.
The Musee Massena in Nice also has plates from this service in their collection.
