    More information

    This large polychrome faience dish is a fine example of 18th century French faience, produced in northern France during the second half of the eighteenth century, circa 1760–1780. Based on its stylistic and technical characteristics, it can be placed within the sphere of the main regional production centers, possibly Desvres or Vron, although no visible mark allows for a definitive attribution.

    The center depicts a naturalistic scene with a pair of birds arranged around a flowering tree, hand-painted with a confident and fluid brushwork. The composition conveys balance and movement, combining figurative and vegetal elements with a strong decorative intent, characteristic of high-quality 18th century French faience from this period.

    The wide rim is richly decorated with vegetal scrolls and floral motifs that frame the central scene and enhance the ornamental character of the piece. The polychrome palette, dominated by greens, yellows, blues, and manganese tones, is fully consistent with northern French productions of 18th century French faience, giving the dish a vibrant and harmonious visual presence.

    The reverse features a well-defined foot ring and retains the original suspension holes made during the manufacturing process, indicating that the piece was specifically intended for wall display. The condition is very good for an object of this type and age, showing light and stable wear consistent with time and use, with no breaks or visible restorations.
