Earthenware plate with contoured border, with polychrome decoration of three fleurs-de-lis in a medallion surmounted by the royal crown framed by two flags and two pikes with fifes, drums and cannonballs. During the Terror, the fleur-de-lys in the center as well as the royal crown were re-coated with black lacquer and annealed, in order to hide the attributes of the monarchy. Initials CB on the reverse. Late 18th century, pre-Revolutionary period (four chips on the edge and wear) D : 23 cm This plate is a rare testimony of the effects of the revolutionary turmoil during the Terror.
