19th C French Plates with Dental Illustrations

 
Six delightful examples of late 19th C French flatware with a humorous depictions of the agonies of dental extraction done in fine artwork. Three of the plates are damaged and have had "museum repairs" but they are rare and very collectable pieces and remain a very attractive ensemble. They are numbered 1,2,3,6,10 and 11 and would have been part of a larger set. The inscriptions read:  "Quel courant d'air!!!"  "La nuit est assez agitée"  "Il se couche inquiet"  "Sur trois qui restent deau fendues et une gâtée"  "Cett fois c'est la bonne"  and  "C'a Y est!!!"
