Provençal Hand-Painted Decorative Relief Plate Signed Géry - 9"

This hand-painted decorative plate features a round, shallow form with a gently scalloped edge and a raised relief scene of two figures seated by a fireside, rendered in earthy browns, greens, and creams on a warm pale yellow glaze. Signed by the artisan Gery, it reflects the work of Poterie Géry, a mid-20th-century workshop in Saint-Laurent-du-Pape (Ardèche, France) known for classic Provençal slipware with lively rural themes.

These pieces were crafted for everyday use but also celebrated local traditions through their distinctive, hand-painted decoration. Made with careful attention to detail, the plate’s raised relief adds depth and texture, bringing the rustic fireside scene to life against its softly undulating edge. It remains in excellent vintage condition, with vibrant colors and a glossy finish that highlight its quality craftsmanship.
