Trompe l'Oeil Nevers - 18th Century - Trompe l'Oeil Plate Of Peeled Hard-boiled Eggs.

Artist: Nevers

Nevers - 18th century.
Trompe l'oeil plate with a scalloped rim, made of high-fire earthenware, decorated in polychrome in the center with peeled hard-boiled eggs, against a polychrome floral background.
Yellow rim.
Restored chips along the edge.

These plates, imitating game, vegetables, and fruit, amazed 18th-century diners.
Rare and spectacular, they bear witness to exceptional craftsmanship and a fashion as brilliant as it was fleeting.
