Rouen earthenware, whose origins date back to the XVIIᵉ century with major figures such as Poterat, quickly established itself as one of the most emblematic productions in France. The early decorations, influenced by Italian models and themselves inspired by the Far East, gradually evolved into richer, more covering compositions, characteristic of the Rouen style.

In the XVIIIᵉ century, this production boomed, driven by strong demand and recognized quality of execution. The decorations, both structured and ornamental, reflect the refined art of living of the period.

This dish is a perfect example of this.
