Dish 1600 - 1615

This "Dish" by Bernard Palissy, dated 1600-1615, showcases the artist’s signature style of intricate, realistic, and highly detailed naturalistic designs. The dish features a delicate openwork pattern reminiscent of lacework. This Renaissance-era ceramic piece is notable for its detailed floral motifs, particularly the daisies that decorate the rim, showcasing Palissy’s innovative use of white and brown enamels. Now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the dish is a testament to the artistic ingenuity of Bernard Palissy, a pioneer of naturalistic ceramics in the 16th century.
