A wonderful and very colorful neoclassical (revival) dish in Renaissance style by the renowned faience factory 'Ulysse à Blois'.

Depicting a salamander with a crown - referring to king Francis I (1494–1547), the Renaissance king most closely associated with Blois and the Loire Valley. Blois was one of Francis I’s royal residences and the Château de Blois is also covered with salamanders.
