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 a tower represents the defense 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.
9″ Diameter.
Incredible antique condition, the expected surface wear, the usual fritting to the rim.
