About the Item

ANTIQUE TIN GLAZED EARTHENWARE POTTERY PLATES A collection of three hand painted plates in a folky provincial style each relating to the French Revolution, produced to celebrate liberation and the end of feudal order in France. Each one is painted with symbolic imagery related the French Revolution. One with a sword and crucifix intertwined with flags behind a basket topped with a bird. Another features an open birdcage and is inscribed ‘W la liberté’ abbreviation for ‘Viva la Liberté’ along with the year ‘1791’. The other features flags either side of an inscription ‘la nation, la lot et legálité’ (The Nation, The Law and Equality) along side a tree of liberty and a Phrygian cap. Each one features a scalloped rim decorated with typical line and dot decoration. Almost certainly originating from Nevers, a historic city and the prefecture of the Nièvre department in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of central France. One is dated 1791 and the others probably date from the same late 18th century period. Circa 1789-1799. All three feature a period tin wall hanging apparatus so can be hung on the wall to form a display, these are easily removed if preferred. Two of the plates are in good vintage condition with only minor wear commensurate with age including some crazing and minor edge nibbles to the glaze but no serious issues. The third has historically been broken and repaired. Approximate measurements: 23cm diameter x 3cm high.
