Plate
Duplessis tableware collection from the Assemblée nationale. The set is in white ceramic decorated with gold edging and a navy blue band. In the late 1940s, the Café du Parlement on Quebec City’s Grand Allée was equipped with its own assortment of tableware. At the initiative of Maurice Duplessis’s government, students in the artistic advertising course at the École des beaux-arts de Québec are invited to submit proposals in which the fleur-de-lys is given pride of place. Jean-Paul Charland’s project was chosen from among all the proposals received.
