Scenic Faience Plate With Flowers

This is a superb faience plate made in France in the 18th century. I believe it was made at Ferrat à Moustiers but I be happy if someone corrects this as I am still learning about faience and am not nearly as sure with identifying the pieces as I am with porcelain. Either way the piece is of a very nice quality and has a large hand painted monochrome puce scene in the center of three musicians in a landscape surrounding with a column behind them. The gentleman is holding a cello type instruments, the lady enxt ti him has a book of sheet music and the other lady is playing a mandolin / guitat type instrument. The nicely shaped rim has three polychrome floral arrangements to it as well as two single flowers and a fun bug / insect. Puce trim to the edge. The plate is It is almost in perfect condition with some wear to the underside which is normal, it has the stilt marks from firing and a few tiny nibbles to the glaze of the edge of the rim. It displays perfectly! Marked underneath with a blue cross type mark as shown. The plate is 1 inch tall and 10.25 inches in diameter so a very nice size! Please email me for more information or other pictures.
