Featured Balloon plates. Can anyone ID the maker's mark?

I'm guessing its an importers mark. BUt I dont know. Dont see any makers of ceramics with this mark.

 

look French. what does it say on top in the banderole ?

 

Found this. I am not saying that the seller is right in their description but it might give you a lead. If you then search Siquier balloon plates you will find more. Your mark is not a Sevres mark to my knowledge

The seller also shows FIVE OTHER BALLOON PLATES on last photo. His auction price is for ONE. Maybe something to watch. No, this does not look like a Sevres mark to me either, thank you John.

 

Looking at the one John posted from Etsy, each tells the name of the balloon, when it flew and who was flying it

 

There is a Samson Paris mark in Kovels with a similar mark - crown over crossed batons with dots. Different crown and different number of dots but as Samson were copyists and these seem to be French then it’s a possibility.

 

Balloons seem to be a popular decoration on French china. Limoges factories produced several different sets of balloon plates. It certainly seems possible Samson copied them.

 

Who was the mysterious J. Siquier?

 

probably a Spanish immigrant.

 

It's odd to me when the art work only shows up as balloons on plates. They must be transfers, don't you think, there are so many?

 

might well be.
these here would not be called Montgolfière at the time but rather aéronef meaning airship analogue to German Luftschiff. therefore the form of the gondola.
