Description: Up for auction is a hand painted figural French Faience plate with a bucolic scene which looks to be outside of a tavern. This splendid plate was made in France during the mid 1800's and is pottery with a faience glaze. It has a scalloped edge, and there is an inscription, "d'Apres Teniers" , which translates to "After Teniers". This most likely refers to the Flemish master artist, David Teniers, The Younger or other member of this well known artistic Flemish family. Possibly a rendition of a painting. It has a loss of glaze in a few places. and there is crazing over the piece. This would be typical of a piece this age. The colors are very vibrant, and the design is very nice. The plate has bright shades of yellow, blue and green, The gentleman's outfit is an emerald green and violet. It had a plate hanger on the back, which I removed so you could see the mark. This is not one of the very early pieces of Lille, they would be more refined. Nonetheless, this is great collector piece. I have another similar piece listed. Country of Origin: France Maker: There is a Lille mark on the reverse. Period: mid 19th C Condition: The plate has wear around the edges. See pixs. Dimensions: Diameter: 10" W.Please ask questions prior to bidding. Payment is due within 3 days of auction closing.NO RESERVE !!! Bidding starts at $99.99
