Charming domed enamel plaque for a villa or seaside property, bearing the name "La Corvette". Its design combines elegant serif blue lettering with the depiction of a three-masted ship engraved in the upper part. The whole evokes the world of navigation and seaside residences. The deliberately sober composition is based on a contrast between the white enameled background and the deep blue of the lettering. Visible traces of old repairs and wear and tear indicate long outdoor exposure.
