Description

Circular grey-white earthenware dish, with a flat base. Dish has deep curving sides and a wide flat rim, with a red edge. Inside the bowl the decoration shows a green wreath with the date "1707" inside it. On the rim are four alternating blue and blue-green trees between two springing yellow rabbits and two foxes.

History Of Use

Unlike other dishes believed to be from the Odler workshop, the tin glaze on this dish is very thin allowing the pink hue of the fired clay to show through. This change in technique could have been due to a temporary scarcity of tin oxide rather than a conscious change in production methods. There are only a few of these in existence. It is really only the style of decoration on this dish that suggests it was produced at the Odler workshop.
