LIMOGES, Mid-18th century

Extremely rare provenance noted for the second time in almost fifty years, in very good condition, scratches and a small oxidized depressed area are however noted on one of the ears, visible on one of the photos. The flat roof model born during the second half of the 17th century was adopted by most French production centers with ornamental variants and produced until the mid-18th century. The bowl presented here is clearly inspired by decorative motifs from Toulouse and Bordeaux.
