This is an unusual French Faience Desvres Lady Double Salt & Mustard. The subject matter includes a lady in a bonnet, sitting on a mustard pot with lid; in front of her is a double basket textured in relief, with a coat of arms on the front. The décor is of dots and flowers. The modeling, painting, 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. Please note this is not Quimper, but Desvres faience, fine country French art pottery. The bottom inside is glazed; the foot rim is unglazed. The underside is marked GM in under glaze blue, the mark of GEORGE MARTEL, and 00 and 59 for the decorators number and the style, and the word Dijon. Dimensions (in inches): 4.5 Tall X 2.9 Wide X 4.9 Deep. Weight 11.2 Oz. The date is circa 1930. The item 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 your interest!
