It has a chantourné scalloped rim, a central basket of flowers painted in cobalt blue, and the dark manganese reverse that the French call cul noir. These all tie together to date this delightful antique serving platter from the late 18th to early 19th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blue tin glaze carries heavy craquelure across the face, and there are glaze losses along the scalloped edge where the warm terracotta shows through.
