SKU 1021
Decorative ceramic rectangular dish by Gustave Reynaud, Le Mûrier (circa 1950s). This utilitarian crockery dish is also a delightful work of art. On the rustic base is a stylised, French rooster flanked by plant motifs framed in Reynaud's trademark, inviting subtle blue hue and faded green. Utterly charming and delightfully rustic, this piece will be the centre of conversation for those lucky enough to have it in their view. In good vintage condition commensurate with its age and use. Maker's mark (mulberry leaf) appears on underside. Please view the accompanying photos in order to appreciate the piece's beauty and ascertain its condition. Upon request, a video of the piece can be provided.
