Provenance: Paul Duchein Collection.
Ceramic finials adorned roofs in many parts of France. Their fragility and exposed location have meant that very few have survived. Made by anonymous craftsmen, they are characterized by their inventiveness, their decorative aspect and their high quality of expression.
