Small plate with lizard, shells, and blue and purple background

Georges Pull French

Not on view

Based in Paris, Georges Pull sold off his taxidermy and curiosity shop in Paris in order to devote himself to rediscovering the ceramic techniques of Bernard Palissy (1510-ca.1590). Though this example featuring a lizard in the center surrounded by shells resembles Palissy’s work, Pull has signed the back with his own name.
