Early 18th Century Soup Tureen Lid, Ironwork Decor

Of course, here, the documentary value is privileged, because the piece is not complete, but I could not resist the pleasure of buying it because of the quality of the realization, and I am convinced that a collector will not be insensitive to it. This early 18th century earthenware lid is remarkable for the quality of the ironwork decoration and the precision with which it is painted. We are dealing with a master without a doubt. The workshop is reminiscent of Moustier, but the paleness of the blue can take us back to the Rhône, and Lyon. I thank whoever will clarify (or deny this diagnosis) because the attribution to a workshop in terms of earthenware is very delicate given the permanent circulation of artisans (Alcora in Spain owes everything to Moustier...) a chip underneath, otherwise perfect condition.
