No. 249 ¥15,000 → An old oval plate. Found at a flea market in Paris, France. Estimated age by the seller: Late 1800s - around 1920 Kiln: Choisy le Roi HB&Cie Material: Terre de fer Size: See images ... It feels heavy in your hand. You can feel the warmth of the earth. A parent bird, about to deliver food (or a branch), and baby birds waiting in a birdhouse surrounded by roses. Small birds and berries entwined with branches border the plate, and water spills from a fallen bucket. I am captivated by the scene drawn in sepia on the pale amber-colored dish. The luxury of being able to admire it as a painting, the detailed depiction of nature seems to possess a richness not found in the present day. + The surface has been lightly washed and no alterations have been made since purchase. This is a tool with minor crazing, scratches, discoloration, and dirt that hasn't been completely removed, as is typical of items that have been used over time. It will be delivered as is. Please check the images carefully. For those who appreciate the atmosphere that has developed over time, and those who understand antique items, please consider purchasing.
