Plate 1765 - 1780

This 18th-century plate, made by the Veuve Perrin Factory, exemplifies the popular French earthenware known as faience. The plate's white tin-glazed surface is decorated with a delicate floral border in shades of green, yellow, and red, and a central scene depicting two figures in a landscape. This piece, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases the skill of French ceramicists in the 18th century.
