Vintage Tile - Roger Capron - Vintage - 1950-1960

Trivet / decorative wall tile in polychrome glazed ceramic, with a joyful and highly decorative motif 'Bon Appétit!'
A charming scene depicting a couple seated at a table, joyfully raising their glasses in honor of the meal.
The man (yellow hat) toasts with a large yellow glass, and the woman (hair in a bun) also raises her glass.
In the center of the table: a bottle, a green jug, various containers and a stylized sundial/clock.
In the foreground, a big tabby cat asleep, curled up under the table — a humorous detail very typical of Capron's warm universe.
Geometric patterns (yellow/black checkerboard) and dominant vivid colors: turquoise, green, yellow, brown, with touches of silvery/metallic.
Relief inscriptions (enamelled):
At the top: "BON APPÉTIT" (inverted in some photos but still readable)
At the bottom: "ENJOY YOUR MEAL!" (repeated with enthusiastic exclamation)
A very characteristic indented handwritten signature: R. CAPRON
Recessed stamp mark: ROGER CAPRON (block lettering)
Debossed round stamp (studio signature with typical sun/circular motifs – partially visible)
The ceramic plaque is set into a square-shaped wooden frame, with a natural antique patina, very elegant.
