This is a rare and unusual French Faience Lady Double Salt made in the Desvres region of France. The subject matter includes a lady with two faces, bonnets, and sets of arms holding two baskets, with a décor of dots and flowers. The outsides of the baskets are textured in relief; 1792 is on the base of the skirt. The bottom inside is glazed; the foot rim is unglazed. The underside is marked FF in under glaze brown, the mark of FOURMAINTRAUX FRERES, and 1 and 651 for the decorators number and the style. The modeling, decorating, and glaze are well done with typical colors of Desvres pottery: creamy white background decorated with bright dark blue, brilliant lemon yellow, iron red, and sage green.
