AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Polychrome tin-glazed earthenware tile – Fruit Cup and Bird – 18th / 19th century
Square tin-glazed tile decorated in polychromy of 'grand feu' (or ‘petit feu’ depending on glaze nuance), depicting a footed cup filled with grape clusters and a pear, on which sits a bird with blue and yellow hues. The central motif is framed by a border with a braided gadroon (or dentelled ribbon), punctuated by small corner motifs.
The clean graphic style and the vivid palette (blue, yellow, manganese) recall late Dutch productions (Delft/Utrecht, 18th–19th century) or major tin-glazed centers in Northern France / Belgium (such as Desvres or Lille).
