Large Barbotine Wall Dish (50cm) Longchamp, High Relief Fruit Decoration, 19th Century

Probably made in the ceramic workshops of Longchamp (Burgundy), our dish is of an astonishing size.
The quality of the fruit that composes it is just as amazing. The figs, peaches, pears and bunch of grapes still on their branches, in a realistic polychromy are "more real than life".
The bottom of the dish is decorated in flat pale green foliage and blue flowers.
No visible mark or signature.
End of the 19th century
