On the twentieth of June, 1789, the deputies of the Third Estate found themselves locked out of their usual meeting hall at Versailles. They reassembled in the nearby royal tennis court and swore a collective oath not to disperse until France had a constitution. The Serment du Jeu de Paume was the hinge on which the Revolution turned — the moment when a dispute about procedure became a declaration of popular sovereignty. The La Constitution plate carries that oath on its surface in the manner of the faience commemorative plate: a monochrome blue-violet composition centered on the inscription, bordered with the Republican emblems of Liberté, Égalité, and Fraternité.

The design belongs to the tradition of the French commemorative plate — the faïence pieces produced in the years immediately following 1789 to mark the defining moments of the new Republic, their surfaces carrying dates, inscriptions, and emblems pressed into the glaze or painted in blue over white. This plate adapts that tradition to the occasion: the oath rendered in the visual language of the period, the scalloped rim detail echoing the best surviving pieces of Revolutionary tableware.

Available in 9″ dinner and 7″ salad or dessert sizes. Part of the La Révolution collection.

The Tennis Court Oath is the moment the Revolution became something other than a political dispute. Twenty June, 1789: six hundred deputies in a room designed for a different purpose, swearing not to disperse until France had a constitution. The oath was honored. The constitution came. The plate carries the inscription in the manner of the commemorative faïence of the period — the text as the decoration, the date as the ornament.

For the table at which the Fourteenth of July is observed, this is the plate for the first course.
