Antique Jesus with crown of thorns portrait on round Limoges porcelain plaque.
In thick wooden frame.
The face of Christ is beautifully detailled using a 'paste on paste' technique.
Artist signature at the bottom: 'Crelerot' and 'Limoges'.
The card backing is not nailed properly anymore. It only holds with the loop at the top. That allowed me to find the signature of Camille Tharaud (1878-1956) at the back of the plaque. He was a famous ceramist in France and this plaque comes from his workshop.
The frame has one very large crack at the top. There also marks, chips and scratches as can be seen in the photographs.
The plaque is in good condition for its age. It is held by nails at the back so I suppose it could be easily removed from the frame.
Size of frame: 15.9 x 15.9 x 2.2 cm / 5.9 x 5.9 x 0.78 inches
Diameter of plaque (visible part at the front): 8.7 cm / 3.14 inches
Diameter of the plaque taken at the back: 10.1 cm / 3.97 inches
