Earthenware press-moulded and decorated with clear, and translucent blue, green, yellow, and manganese-purple lead-glazes
Off-white earthenware, press-moulded with decoration in relief, painted with clear and translucent blue, green, yellow, and manangese-purple lead-glazes; the reverse, mottled in blue and manganese. Circular with deep curved sides and slightly everted edge, standing on a low circular foot. In the middle there is a circular medallion enclosing a seated female figure representing Faith, holding up a chalice in her right hand and supporting a book against her hip with her left hand. Her left foot rests on a serpent whose head points towards two books lying on the ground, and her right rests on a log. Behind the woman there is a landscape with tree trunks on either side, a swan on a lake, two smaller trees, and distant rocks and buildings. The sides are decorated with nineteen stylized daisy plants in relief on a manganese ground separated by radiating blue straps with trefoil ends and a central off-white ridge formed by small overlapping discs.

Moulded dishes of this type were associated with Bernard Palissy or his followers or imitators when this example was accessioned in 1928. They are now considered to have been made by a pottery probably in Paris in the early 17th century, or elsewhere. A comparable radiating floral border surrounds a relief of Henry IV and his family on an oval dish made after 1602, of which an example is in the Louvre (OA 1351)
