"Pair Of Large 18th Century Earthenware Plates Moustier Clerissy"
Pair of large plates (the diameter of 26.5 cm is not common) decorated in deep blue, with an elegantly painted central flower and a thin border in imitation of China. under the plate, presence of a slight rim, pernettes, and in the center a tiny blue cross. I must admit my ignorance regarding the manufacture, despite forty years of proximity to ancient objects... The execution is simple, but perfect, the paste, the luminous white slip, the powerful blue, everything seems Mediterranean, but the presence of a rim at the bottom of the piece for a piece outside the borders of the kingdom, just like the type of shape. We are in Italy, why not. In any case, the potters of southern France were Italian, in the first generation... Both pieces are in perfect original condition.
