AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An interesting and elegant flat serving plate (assiette plate) in French faience, coming from the historic Moustiers kilns in southern France, and datable to the first half of the eighteenth century, in the full Louis XV era.
The piece stands out for its lobed-profile edge and for the refined hand-painted decoration in green camaïeu, a painting technique based on using several shades of a single color, harmoniously distributed on a light background, at the center of which is depicted a characteristic grotesque figure surrounded by leafy shrubs.
An interesting Rococo piece, with the refined expression of French faience production of the eighteenth century and particularly appreciated for the vibrancy of the subjects. The edge is delicately shaped and highlighted by two manganese bands, while the upper edge presents an elegant frieze of flowering branches and elongated foliage. Characteristic details, from the figure and his costume to the rich foliage, give liveliness to the plate, in contrast with the lush and refined vegetation.
Potential buyers are invited to carefully view the photos before proceeding with the purchase, in order to avoid complaints or disputes.
