Each plate represents an emblematic profession, starting with the bowl seller, inspired by a lithograph by Carle Vernet, from the collection “Cris de Paris”. We also discover the water carrier, an essential figure in Parisian daily life, as well as the seller of cooked pears, bringing a gourmet touch to this series. The rag picker, symbol of resourcefulness, rubs shoulders with the nut seller, who evokes the flavors of yesteryear. Finally, the dealer in iron seals completes this vivid picture of traditional trades, which bear witness to a bygone era and a typically Parisian art of living. These pieces are not only decorative, they tell the story of a city and its artisans. This piece has an attribution mark,
