Rouen faience is known for its intricate hand-painted decorations, typically in blue, yellow, green, and manganese purple on a white background, featuring floral motifs, arabesques , or chinoiserie designs. On the bottom, it is indicated "Rouen fait main 1492. Note that production did not begin until the 16th century, so the date "1492" could symbolize a significant historical year (perhaps the discovery of the Americas) or be an artistic flourish to suggest antiquity. A beautiful and unique piece sourced from an estate in Aix-en-Provence. dimensions: 3.5"W x 5"D x 4"H Show more
