Charming antique earthenware compote dish in the "Marrons" pattern from the Longchamp factory, a French production from the early 20th century, circa 1910-1930. Polychrome hand-painted transfers of pretty chestnut leaves, husks, and chestnuts in shades of black, brown, and green adorn the interior, the reverse, and the base, in an Art Nouveau style.
Height 11 cm, diameter of the bowl 23 cm. The piece is in very good overall condition; the earthenware has a light cream/ivory patina and exhibits natural crazing of the glaze due to age. There is a small, discreet hairline crack on the rim. Approximately 450 g.
