About the Item

Palissy ware is a ceramic technique, named after the French potter Bernard Palissy, known for its realistic, high-relief depictions of nature, often including animals, plants, and insects. This particular plate showcases a deeply molded bas-relief ocean bottom with elements like sand, mussels, and seaweed, and a prominent, fully modeled lobster in the center. These pieces are characterized by their hand-painted, bold colors and glossy finish, aiming for a trompe-l'oeil effect. Portuguese Palissy-ware, including lobster plates, were commonly produced in the early 20th century. Diameter 20 cm (7,87 inches) In very good condition Please check carefully all photos
