AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Polychrome Tin-Glazed Tile – Fruit Cup and Bird – 18th/19th century
Square tin-glazed earthenware tile decorated in high-fire polychromy (or low-fire depending on glaze nuance), depicting a stemmed cup filled with clusters of grapes and a pear, on which sits a bird in blue and yellow tones. The central motif is framed by a border of braided trim (or dentated ribbon) punctuated by small corner motifs.
The clean graphic style and vibrant 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).
