French Faïence Bowl from Nevers
About the Item
In the 18th century, the Nevers faïenciers created “faïence populaire”. The theme of the “Tree of Love” is probably the most famous subject since it was used from the 1730s to the end of the 19th century.
This bowl was created specifically for “Fille Menoi” (Miss Menoi), possibly for a special occasion. This polychrome scene depicts the misfortune of the ladies who are trying to cut down the Love tree where their lovers are hidden.
