A French Faience Dish Possibly Moustiers Late 18th Century

A large circular nicely moulded Bordeaux type dish, possibly made in Moustiers France. 

Judging by the style, material, and the method of manufacture this is consistent with ceramic dishes produced in the Bordeaux region around the end of the 18th century.

For reference of a Lyon example "Histoire de la Faience Francaise Bordeaux & la Rochelle" By Dorothee Guilleme Brulon, page 87.

Another example here attributed simply to Bordeaux.

A thick slightly creamy tin glaze covers the earthenware body. The decoration is naive, a dark line, possibly manganese salts and green brushed areas decorate the rim with a simple and stylised floral edge pattern.  In the centre stands an man between plants holding a large flower and wearing a hat.
