A charming early 19th-century French faience plate from Nevers, featuring a lively composition of three branched fruits in an overflowing basket. The clear stencilled forms of the basket and fruit contrast with the freer, more painterly brushstrokes of the surrounding leaves and bushes. The shaped rim is bordered with a spirited frieze of lines and brushstrokes. Painted in a vibrant polychrome palette, and marked Nevers on the reverse. An attractive country plate with naïve detail and strong decorative appeal.
