18th Century Nevers French Revolution Tin-Glazed Faïence Dish, Bastille Tower
About the Item
A French revolution tin-glazed earthenware dish, made in Nevers, circa 1790. Showing a yellow battlement often thought to be the Bastille, the image of the tower represents the defence of the French homeland. A hand painted border on the scalloped rim.
Called faïence parlante or faïence patriotique, dishes and bowls painted with images or mottos of the French Revolution (1789-99) reflected the political allegiances of those who displayed these pieces in their homes.
Incredible antique condition, the expected surface wear, the usual fritting to the rim.
