"Le Grand Dépôt," founded by Émile Bourgeois in Paris at 21 Rue Drouot, was a key player in promoting French talents in porcelain and glassware at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries. This grand store popularized decorative art pieces in European and global markets. E. Bourgeois (1832-1926), renowned for his expertise, contributed to the house’s reputation, which was awarded a silver medal at the 1900 Exposition Universelle. Pieces from Le Grand Dépôt are highly sought after by collectors today for their quality and refinement. Although one plate has a slight flaw, it neither diminishes its beauty nor its functionality.
