Please note: With weather disruptions around the country, I cannot guarantee Christmas delivery this late in December.
Antique French Revolution Faience welled plate or shallow bowl. This could be the work of Joseph Fouque/Jean-Francois Pelloquin or the work of Nevers. Fouque/Pelloquin often used an"X" in their pottery mark. The company from
Moustiers, France made faience and tableware until 1852. This plate is also similar to those I've seen from Nevers. I could find no other French maker that used that mark. If you know otherwise, please feel free to send me a message! All corrections are welcomed. I could find no other examples of this plate so I'm at a loss.
It looks like the two women are in front of a mausoleum with the name Durand and a cross on the top. The left side basically says loud cries (cheers) Jeannette will hear it.
The other side: Just one little goose; How much is my child?
This hand painted whimsical plate is in French. The plate is approximate 9" in diameter with a shallow 1" well. It is marked with an X and a dot on the reverse. There are glaze skips on the rim. Pottery marks on the reverse. No chips, cracks, breaks or repairs. There is crazing.
My handling time is 3 business days, but I try to get the item out the day after it's purchased and paid for.
