Antonin Boullemier  came to England in 1870 from the French Sevres factory and was active as a renowned Minton decorator in the later 19th century.

These plates are circa 1875 and both carry the impressed Minton mark and one has a dare code that can be read as 1875 - the other has marks less easy to read.

One depicts a musician  and the other a smoking Cherub - Cherubs being what Boullemier was most famous for.
