Nevers earthenware dish on a pedestal, signed “Hiver,” 19th–early 20th century
The center of the dish features a large butterfly with yellow, turquoise, and blue wings, accented with black dots. It is surrounded by bouquets of roses, pansies, and orange flowers, with insects (dragonflies and butterflies) scattered throughout the design. Gray-blue arabesques form the background, and a thin orange border accentuates the inner rim.
The form is particularly elaborate: a scalloped rim accented with a cobalt-blue border of fine lines, a fluted body, and four scallop-shaped handles in relief, glazed in orange-yellow. The piece rests on a flared, faceted base, decorated with an orange wavy frieze, blue dots, and green foliage.
A decorator at Montagnon and later at Trousseau & Co., Hiver went into business for himself in 1894 at Place du Champs de Foire in NEVERS.
Upon his death in 1916, his wife continued the business until 1921.
In good condition with signs of use and age.
