Antique decorative ceramic bowl from Montois, numbered and signed by Antoine Dubois, who passed away in 1949, produced during the interwar period. Round shape, quite hollow, and composed of 5 notches, with incised and glazed decoration in blue, brown, and beige, featuring naive and symbolic iconography, evoking an infant swaddled in a crib topped with a stylized flower of protective value, a recurring motif in regional folk art. The presence of five notches and the decoration suggest an object with symbolic intent, possibly a decorative plate for a child or a gift for birth or baptism. Incised signature Dubois, numbering S.12. Dating: 1930s–1940s. Diameter 17 cm. Height 4.5 cm. Weight 695 g. Very good condition.
