A beautiful hand-painted plate by Veuve Perrin dating to the 18th century.
Veuve Perrin (Widow Perrin) was a factory in Marseille, France that manufactured Faïence wares between 1748 and 1803.
The plate is of circular form with a scalloped edge.
It has a hand painted rural scene to the centre of a girl milking a goat next to a cow, with trees and a building with a church in the background.
Below the scene is a garland of flowers which is repeated around the circumference of the plate. The plate has a green painted rim.
The plate has the mark of Veuve Perrin to the underside; a stylised hand painted mark of ‘VP’ in red.
~ Dimensions ~
The plate has a diameter of 24cm (9 ½ inches) and weighs 460g.
~ Condition ~
The plate has a tiny chip to the underside and a couple of very small scratches to the central image, although these are really not very noticeable unless on closer inspection and do not affect the overall appearance. The plate is otherwise in a very good condition with no damage or signs of repair.
