Description
Large and elaborate Palissy ware platter, attributed to the factory of Victor and Achille Barbizet. The long fish, probably a pike, surrounded by plants, insects and amphibians. Plants include ferns and a water lily; insects include a dragonfly, moth and beetle; amphibians include a snake, frog, crayfish and small turtle. Interspersed are a snail and numerous shells. Each creature is realistically modelled and glazed.
This enormous platter was almost certainly made by Victor Barbizet (1805-1870). He is credited with founding the School of Paris, the group of Palissy makers that operated in Paris from roughly 1850-1900. Barbizet was known to make large platters, some measuring nearly 44". He rarely signed his work, as here.
For a similar, but smaller platter attributed to Barbizet, see Marshall P. Katz and Robert Lehr, "Palissy Ware Nineteenth-Century Ceramists from Avisseau to Renoleau" (London and Atlantic Highlands, NJ: The Athlone Press, 1996) p. 124, plate 143. -
