This is a rare and unusual large French Faience Montagnon Scalloped Bowl made in the Nevers region of France. The subject matter is a figural vase in relief. The décor is a stylized pattern of scalloped edges, relief figures, flowers and two small reserves with chateau scenes. The modeling, decorating, and glaze are well done with typical colors of this pottery: creamy white background decorated with bright cornflower blue, brilliant mustard yellow, sage green, and sepia. The insides, bottom, and the feet are glazed. The underside is marked with entwined large bow and A. Montagnon 23. Nevers faience was a famous art pottery technique whereby tin glazes and decorations are applied over modeled terra cotta clay forms, and fired several times in a kiln. Please note this is not Quimper or Desvres, but Nevers art pottery. Though similar, there are different color palettes used and other nuances on the potteries. Dimensions (in inches): 3.4 Tall X 9.9 Wide X 5.3 Deep. Weight 14.1 Oz. The date is circa late 19th Century. The bowl has a bit of discoloration on the inside from use; it is in very good condition other than firing flaws and minor wear; there have been no repairs or restorations. Shipping and Insurance USPS Priority Mail within the U.S. is $15.00. Thanks for bidding!
