Nevers Faience, Large Blue & White Platter, early 18th century

This early 18th-century French faience platter from Nevers is decorated in blue and white with a characterful scene of a medieval town, surrounded by trees and birds in a medallion. It features several friezes, with bushes, stripes and criss-cross patterns. With a timeless colour combination and beautiful textures, this generously sized platter is an exquisite decorative piece that can easily be hung on a wall thanks to holes in the foot.
