Set 12 dessert plates: Fables

A set of twelve plates in creamware, in the Spanish shape. Each is hand-painted with an illustration from one of La Fontaine's fables, after the illustraions by Gustave Dore. Eleven carry the PT monogram (unidentified); probably from Emile Lessore’s workshop.

The PT monogram is mentioned by Batkin, who perhaps misreads it as PZ. It could also be read as PL or even PTL.

Exhibited: Wedgwood, Master Potter to the Universe, Roche Foundation, 2023.
