french faience pottery plaque / trivet ?

Hi folks

this was a recent ebay acquisition. was £25 so not exactly cheap

not really worried about the value as i just wanted to own/see it

as you can see has a staple repair right through it, notice they have added the staple to the front border to make it less visible

i think its a lovely image, and large 8 by 8 inches

be interested in finding out its age though, maybe a trivet ?

any thoughts or info appreciated

 

It is beautiful, Charlie, with nice French country charm. I like the sympathetic placement of the two staples on the front, and of course I like the staples full stop.
Seeing the back, it looks like a trivet, but I would happily hang it on my kitchen wall.

The costume is 19th century Breton, but maybe it was made in Rouen, Normandy? The potties will know.

 

awesome thanks Aj

yeah i have similar thoughts of getting it framed

had too much charm to pass on
