Gien pottery plate

Large plate (or dish) from the Rambouillet Collection of the Gien pottery. Created in 1955 by the artist Jean Bertholle at the request of President René Coty, this prestigious service is hand-painted. The Round Dish with Stag Rambouillet illustrates hunting scenes originally intended for grand presidential residences. The plate is in very good condition, shiny, with no chips and its original bright colors. Note some micro scratches in the center that are only visible up close (see photo).
