Sorrus Pottery, Slipware Dish, late 17th century

This late 17th-century French pottery dish from Sorrus features a dynamic squiggle pattern in off-white on a deep brown glaze. Its large shape consists of a wide lip and a shallow centre. The glaze showcases sumptuous textures and a rich variation of earthy tones, while the squiggle unfolds in an exquisite free-form pattern. This rare folk pottery dish is in excellent condition. It’s an attractive decorative accent, hung on a wall thanks to a loop at the back or displayed on a tabletop.
