"The Tree Of Liberty Topped With A Phrygian Cap, Ancy Le Franc Manufactory"
Polychrome earthenware. Circa 1790. Slight chips on the edge have been restored.
So-called revolutionary earthenware was produced from 1789 until the advent of the First Empire. It depicts the emblems and events of the revolution. At the time, people bought these plates to assert their republican affiliation. These ceramics follow the political events of the time, like a gazette.
