Ancient Black Ass Glazed Terracotta Plate, 18th Century Antique French Folk Art Pottery.

  

Rare and very large antique "cul noir" dish, early 18th century, made of glazed terracotta. The bottom shows pronounced wear and a repair, with two staples added in the 19th century, which was common practice as nothing was thrown away if it could still be used.

I believe it is very sturdy. It has a lovely round shape with a thick rim and the irregular shape, characteristic of the potter's work, adds to its charm. Dimensions: 33.5 x 7 cm. Shipping to Europe: 26 euros, rest of the world: 79 euros.
