Émile Gallé faience pottery Ewer Aesop Fables, France, 1890

Description
Émile Gallé signed faience pottery ewer with a very rare scene from Aesop Fables.
The Fox and the Crow, the crow learns a valuable lesson about flattery... because he complimented her, she fell into a trap of flattery, which caused her to forget about the food in her mouth. The moral of the story: do not believe every thing you hear, not everyone has your best interest at heart.
A snow scene with the crow sitting on a branch of the tree looking down at the fox.
Beautifully glazed in browns, black with gold highlights.
