Description
The imagery on this dish is similar to hunt scenes that appear on Iranian ceramics of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. Perhaps illustrating a fable, the decorator has depicted a fierce cat pursuing a series of scampering rabbits or jackals. Jean-Jacques Lachenal was the son of Edmond Lachenal, one of the leaders of the French art pottery revolution. He began making Iznik-style wares in the second decade of the twentieth century. Little is known of his earlier and later life. Marks: inscribed Lachenal, 128
