Oval basin with lizards, shells, and ivy leaves with brown background

Georges Pull French

Not on view

Georges Pull created some of the most sophisticated examples of Palissy ware, ceramics made in the nineteenth century inspired by the work of the Renaissance potter Bernard Palissy (1510-c.1589). The reverse of this dish shows deep impressions left by the lizard and the snake, indicating Pull, like Palissy, created the basin and the creatures decorating its surface from a single mold.
