A French Revolution tin-glazed earthenware dish, showing crossed French flags with a Phrygian cap on an épée, the symbol for Liberty. La Convention, meaning The Agreement, is written in script with the date 1793. 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.
9.5″ Diameter
Incredible antique condition, the expected surface wear and crazing, the usual fritting to the rim.
