Product description
Nevers, the capital of French faience since the 16th century, produced during the revolutionary era a series of "speaking plates" that are among the most striking testimonies of popular propaganda during the Revolution. These pieces, hand-painted with a freedom of gesture and spontaneity that sets them apart from any industrial production, bear inscriptions and figures directly from the Republican lexicon of Year II. This plate belongs to that exceptional body of work. In the center, a sans-culotte in a yellow jacket and blue breeches, wearing a Phrygian cap, holds a pike in a green landscape. The calligraphed inscription in an arc, in beautiful brown cursive writing, proclaims: "The Satisfied Patriot." The subject is documented in specialized literature on revolutionary faience. The scalloped rim is decorated with a frieze of small blue arrows and dots, framed by a double blue and ochre line. The decoration, entirely hand-painted, exhibits the expressive freshness and charming simplicity characteristic of popular Nevers productions during the Revolution. The handwritten mark on the reverse, "Neven / Révolution," uses the old spelling of Nevers and confirms the origin and period of production. Diameter: 24 cm. Revolutionary Nevers "speaking plates" are today sought after by specialized collectors and history museums. This one is offered without formal expert appraisal, subject to examination. Additional details: - Brand: Nevers - Style: Révolutionnaire - Material: Faïence - Colour: bleue - Colour: ocre - Colour: brune - Period: époque Révolution
