Round dish with cattail border

Emile Gambut French

Not on view

Based in his family workshop in Beaune, Emile Gambut created works inspired by the rediscovery of the works of sixteenth-century potter Bernard Palissy (1510-ca. 1589). The frog, lizard, and lobster at the center of this plate recall the creatures found at the center of the Renaissance potter’s work. Gambut has added inventive details through the addition of the textured green moss and ornate decorative border.
