It's impressively sized and makes a statement. Large, cream-colored, softly scalloped and steeped with age... it was made for a roast, a whole fish or a generous family lunch where everyone stays a little longer to enjoy the beauty of the day and the company.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis grand plat à viande, or large meat platter, likely dates from the early 19th century. It is made in faience fine, the fine French earthenware used for table pieces before factory uniformity took over. The hand-finished rim and unmarked body give it that wonderful early feeling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe glaze has aged into tight crazing with warm staining and wear from long use. Displayed on a sideboard, set down the center of a table or used as the anchor for a collected French kitchen, it brings two centuries of family gatherings with it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54220284100951,"sku":"POR-052","price":1225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/faience-fine-serving-platter-early-19th-century-2.jpg?v=1785764687","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/en-us\/products\/antique-french-earthenware-meat-platter-faience-fine-early-19th-century","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
