TWO PLATES FROM NABEUL BY TISSIER AND BEN SEDRINE KHARRAZ, T - Lot 155
TWO PLATES FROM NABEUL BY TISSIER AND BEN SEDRINE KHARRAZ, TUNISIA, CIRCA 1930. Made of earthenware with a glazed decoration featuring strong contrasts between yellow and black tones; the larger dish features a central medallion inscribed with the name of the city of Nabeul in Arabic, while the second, smaller dish is adorned with a protective hand motif. Marked on the reverse with “Nableul, Tissier” in Arabic. Heights: 6.5 and 3.5 cm. Diameters: 41 and 25 cm. Joseph-Ferdinand Tissier (1856–1923) settled in Nabeul in 1898 and founded a factory there that quickly caught the attention of the Bey of Tunis. He was then awarded the title of “master potter of the Beylik’s earthenware factory.” With the launch of “artistic pottery,” the factory innovated through a wide variety of designs, contributing to the revival of Nabeul ceramics. Around 1920, Louis Tissier took over the family business. The golden age of artistic pottery in Nabeul, between 1925 and 1935, saw the Tissier, Chemla, and Verclos participate in the Colonial Expositions in Marseille (1922) and Paris (1931), where their creations won awards and were added to the collections of the Permanent Museum of the Colonies.
