Caps of Champagne





In France makes already many years that exists a great interest by collecting Champagne plates. One must take into account to exist very ancient carved plates, of the past century, and that the first photolithographed champagne plate is of 1906. It is calculated that there is among 6000 and 7000 different plates. This is thus because exist many brands and why, within each brand concretely tend have different plates for each variety or for each adds.

Therefore it is referred to the catalogación, from 1992 exists an "Repertoire des Plaques de Muselets du Champagne, that it has been gone renewing in successive issues 1994, 1996 and 1998.


The number of collector encounters in those which can be bought or changed champagne plates is huge, since practically each week there is two or three "Bourses" in different France points. With all, the most important are those which take place in Vertus (spring and autumn) and in Chalons sur Marne (autumn) by those which tend to parade more than two thousand persons.
Currently my collection of champagne plates form it some 3000 pieces, among those which fits to underline a thirtieth of carved plates.
