It shows human figures and fantastical animals amid insects and floral garlands. The spontaneous, yet precisely executed decoration is rendered in monochrome ocre. The engravings of Jacques Callot (1592-1635) may have inspired some of the figures.French FaïenceRecent Acquisitions - 2020-2022[]European CeramicsFrench Earthenware - Faïence1853399492FrenchInterlaced OL. and S
