A mid-18th-century French faïence plate from Nevers, decorated with a manganese carnation on a stem, surrounded by blue and yellow flowers and foliage. The edge is delicately shaped and highlighted by a yellow line, while the lip is adorned with sprays of flowers and insects.
The off-centred placement of the carnation, combined with the refined naturalism of the drawing and painterly colour, lends the plate a botanical elegance. Marked underneath and in excellent condition, a rare plate with refined decoration.
