Vintage French Buttermilk Yellow Earthenware Centrepiece Plate with Relief Rim
Bring warmth, patina and effortless French country charm to your tabletop or kitchen dresser.
Crafted in the South of France, this generous shallow earthenware plate features a buttery, soft yellow glaze. The broad rim is moulded with green glazed raised relief botanical scrolls / tendrils leading down into a wide basin centred with an organic concentric spiral.
Turn it over and you will find the three classic tripod stilt marks (pernettes) left from the kiln firing - quiet proof of its studio pottery origin.
Whether loaded with seasonal fruit on an oak dining table, used as a low centrepiece filled with walnuts and clementines or propped against aged timber on a dresser shelf, it brings an instant sense of warmth and deliberate slow living to a room. It would also look fabulous as a wall plate (fixings would be required).
