Child bust with strawberry
Earthenware
Nevers, circa 1620, 1640
Dimensions: H. 24.5
A very rare and early piece of anthropomorphic earthenware depicting a smiling child holding a strawberry. This type of production is exceedingly rare and far precedes the antique-style busts with "à la palette" decoration. It is therefore a real showpiece.
Mainly executed in reserve, with a few rare blue and yellow highlights. This piece features a very specific type of decoration for the period.
The "a compendiario" pattern
This is the application of a summary decoration to enhance the thick, covering white enamel on which it is painted.
This type of decoration originated in Faenza, a major center of craftsmanship. It wasn't until the mid-16th century that it appeared on Italian majolica. The style quickly spread throughout Italy, France, Holland and Eastern Europe, where the reputation of Faenza's "whites" took off. Each country used its own models, making it possible to distinguish between different productions.
