Description

Revolutionary-era plate from Nevers earthenware.

It has a scalloped shape with yellow, brown, blue, and green decoration. Heavy, fairly thick paste, dense white enamel with a slight gray tint and opaque, some firing imperfections (bubbles and marks from the kiln), and enamel issues (thickness), a bit of wear, and enamel jumps on the edges, see the last photos. No signature as is customary.

It is authentic and dates from the revolutionary period (slightly gray enamel and marks from the kiln).

The rim is classically decorated with stylized garlands.

It depicts the taking of the Bastille. I have attached a photo of a similar plate, almost identical, for sale at an antique dealer.

As you can see, this plate is in very good condition, with a few enamel jumps on the edges. No cracks or hairlines. Two spots of friable dirt at 12 o'clock and 7 o'clock, but I didn't dare to scrape.

It is sold with its wall plate holder.

Its weight is approximately 490 grams (including the weight of the wall plate holder) and its diameter is about 22.6 cm.

Shipping is very well protected via Colissimo recommended for 12 euros or via Chronopost Shop2shop for 8 euros.

Shipping is possible to Europe via Colissimo recommended for 20 euros.
