Niderviller salad bowl, Belette model

Large and deep ceramic salad bowl with a very beautiful, very original horizontally streaked enamelling on the outer edge, its particularity is that this enamelling seems to have been made on a working potter's wheel. It is stamped “weasel” underneath with a difficult to decipher wording, probably “hand painted”. I did not find reliable information on this salad bowl, but my research allowed me to find plates with exactly the same enamelling and which are stamped niderviller for the provenance and belette for the model as well as the mention "painted hand" and other utilitarian ceramics with the same decoration including the niderviller stamp, the mention "hand painted", but not the indication of the model. I therefore think that the stamp perhaps varied depending on the destination of the object or perhaps it was a ceramic created elsewhere but enameled in niderviller, an order for the enamelling part in somehow... The mystery remains, if you have more precise information, i'm interested; ) this salad bowl is in very good condition, no cracks, no visible chips, just a small chip under the base. It has some slight original defects which testify to this handmade enamelling: small areas where the enamelling is a little thinner, on the edge (area of approximately 4mm), inside or even on the edge next to it. From its base. It measures 14.5 cm in height, 24 cm in diameter at the opening and 25 cm in maximum diameter (it is slightly wider at the bottom and this is a good asset for a salad bowl, because it limits splashing when tossing the salad).
