Note du spécialiste

According to current scholarship, the present dish is a unique example of this form. By tradition, this is the reason it was conserved by the Renoleau family. See Marshall Katz and Robert Lehr, Palissy Ware, London, 1996, p. 178, fig. 239 for a plate with a lobster and a crayfish, the latter inverted.
