Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The manufacturer of faience in Nevers adapted very quickly to the French Revolution. Instead of saints they showed working people. The name Marie-Anne was very common at that time, especially on the country side and amoung women that worked in the households of richer people/ nobility. It became also the first name of the symbol of the French Revolution (and later the Republic) Marianne. This dish shows Marie-Anne Pigu (a symbol for the common women of Nevers) 1793 as a laundress.
