Commemorative bowl in fine Gien faience, dating from the 1889 Paris World's Fair. This historic piece celebrates the inauguration of the Eiffel Tower, then an emerging symbol of Parisian industrial modernity. The finely executed decoration depicts the Eiffel Tower surrounded by floral motifs characteristic of Gien earthenware from that period. The manufacturer's stamp is visible on the reverse. An authentic antique patina and a visible chip on the rim attest to over a century of existence. A collector's item for enthusiasts of historic ceramics and 19th-century French heritage.
