A Limoges pate sur pate porcelain plaque, depicting a young girl examining a snail which in turn is looking back curiously. Both the child and the snail are very skillfully modeled as is the lawn and flora this charming plaque is hard paste and very much the kind of work associated with Limoges. It is entirely unmarked.
This kind of work was also done by the Minton Factory in England. We particularly like the playfulness of this panel, typically this technique is applied to classically inclined scenes.
