A late 18th-century French faience plate from Nevers, decorated with a hunting hat on a branch in the centre.
The vibrant palette of blue, green, and yellow stands out on the white base, and the edge features a delicate blue line. A gorgeous plate with country textures and an elegant decor.
The French faience industry received a huge boost when, late in his reign in 1709, Louis XIV pressured the wealthy to donate their silver plate, previously what they normally used to dine, to his treasury to help pay for his wars. There was an "overnight frenzy" as the elite rushed to get faience replacements of the best quality. Nevers garden vases in blue and white were prominently used in the gardens of the Chateau de Versailles.
