AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful tin-glazed faience jardinière in a rectangular shape with beveled sides, resting on three small feet and equipped with two side handles.
The piece is entirely hand-decorated with a grand feu polychrome design, predominantly blue, green, yellow, and manganese. The exterior wall features stylized vegetation composed of groves, foliage, and clusters of plants, with small castles in a landscape at the center.
The interior is adorned with a stylized fern branch, enhanced with blue motifs. This decoration is particularly interesting for attribution to Nevers in the mid-18th century. A jardinière preserved at the Pôle culturel du Monastère des Ursulines, with very similar dimensions (34 × 23 × 10 cm), is dated around 1745-1770 and explicitly identified as an example of the Nivernais decoration “à la chicorée et à la fougère.”
