French Palissy François Maurice Majolica Lobster Wall Plaque, Circa 1870
About the Item
A Palissy School of Paris Majolica hanging wall plaque, France, modeled by François Maurice, circa 1870-1875.
Modeled from life, this extremely dimensional and realistic piece is glazed beautifully. The oval plaque is centered by a brown and yellow lobster surrounded by green leaves, shells and a frog. Highly dimensional, the applied leaves and marine life sit on a deep Cobalt blue glazed ground.
Pierced for hanging on the footed verso, which is glazed in a speckled light mustard yellow with a brown rim. This piece also sits beautifully on a tabletop.
François Maurice ( 1846-1896) had a workshop at 20 rue de Basselins, Paris. He included his pottery in the Paris Exposition Universelle in 1889.
“École Parisienne” which was part of the movement of Neo-Paliseans of the 19th century. The School of Paris included Victor Barbizet, François Maurice, Thomas Sergent, and Georges Pull. The ceramists produced Palissy pieces at the end of 19th century, rarely signing their work.
