Art Deco ceramic tray potted and handpainted by French ceramicist Rene Buthaud, early 20th century.

Measures 15 1/2inches long; between 9 1/4 and 9 1/2inches wide.

Rounded rectangular shape with applied snaking, scrolling border. Background is mottled bordeaux (bright pinkish red, much like the wine). The entire bowl of the tray is handpainted with a scene of a reclining woman asleep in long grass. hints of clouds flying by in a blue sky.

Painted initials RB on the back.

Condition is good. There are a few shallow kiln cracks, one on the outside of the rim, some on the back, none on the painted area/front of the tray (and therefore do not detract from the tray in any way).
