A scarce 19th century French faience (tin-glazed earthenware) plate or shallow bowl. It has been naïvely decorated in a lovely rustic hand painted polychrome design and is a hugely characterful piece of antique pottery.
There are historical cracks to the plate, some repaired with antique ceramic staples visible on the reverse. This was a highly skilled traditional method used to mend broken pottery before modern adhesives were invented and adds considerable historical character to this super plate.
It has a very old-fashioned plate hanger attached.
