From the Sarreguemines Majolica line, a trompe l’oeil napkin bread tray, France, circa 1885-1890.
An earthenware, faïence bread tray modeled as a cloth napkin with a floral and checkered pattern and a Greek key border. The two end handles are formed as the napkin tied into bows. The napkin drapes lengthwise, furthering the tromp l’oeil effect.
