<p>[QUOTE=&quot;vitry-le-francois, post: 233112, member: 100&quot;]Found these two book-shaped faience pottery planters at a thrift store for $15.00. </p><p><br /></p><p>They were made by Platon-Nicolas-Constantin Argyriades (1888-1968). Born in Marseille, he grew up in Paris and attended the national ceramics school in Sèvres. While at school he met the future glass artisan, G. Argy-Rousseau, who would later marry Platon’s sister.</p><p><br /></p><p>In 1922, Platon opened the Poterie du Vieux Montmartre, an art glass and</p><p>ceramics studio in Paris’ Montmartre district. In 1929, he opened a pottery</p><p>studio in the village of Domois on Belle-Île-en-Mer.</p><p><br /></p><p>How they managed to arrive in Arizona and not get separated would make for an interesting story!</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t keep many things I find but I think these will find a special place in my display case. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]70299[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]70300[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]70301[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]70302[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]70303[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
