Round dish with moss and fish
José Francisco de Sousa Portuguese
Not on view
Despite of widespread social unrest and political instability for much of the nineteenth-century in Portugal, a number of ceramics factories appeared in the Calda da Rainhas area, which produced works inspired by Bernard Palissy. In 1860, José Francisco de Sousa purchased a factory from another ceramicist and began making decorative plates, which often featured lobsters, fish, and moss. In this example, a dish of fish and an eel have been placed on a bed of moss.
