{"product_id":"antique-french-faience-platter-yellow-ground-hand-painted-florals","title":"Rare Antique French Faience Platter | Yellow Glaze |  c. 1880–1900","description":"\u003cp\u003eSome pieces bring the sunshine with them. This rare antique French faience platter does exactly that. The yellow is just stunning... bright and full of life. When you set this out on the counter with some fruit and a pitcher of flowers nearby, the whole mood shifts toward Provence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis shaped oval plat is made from tin-glazed earthenware and was likely produced in the South of France around 1880 to 1900. Most surviving provincial faience in this family tends to be softer, paler or more buttery in tone. This example is different. The yellow glaze is vivid across the surface, making it much more striking in person.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the center is a hand-painted bouquet anchored by a deep cobalt flower. The cusped, festooned rim gives the whole platter a lively shape, with enough movement to feel handmade and elegant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is glaze loss along the rim and some visible surface wear. These details are consistent with a piece that has been used, handled and kept for more than a century. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, it would be beautiful hung on a wall with other cul noir platters in light blue... the contrast would be amazing. It's equally well suited for daily use, serving delicious appetizers or serving cold leeks with a delicious vinaigrette. However you see it being used, it will be a welcome addition to any home.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53671316160855,"sku":"FAI-067","price":895.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/antique-provencal-yellow-ground-faience-dish-2.jpg?v=1781032428","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/products\/antique-french-faience-platter-yellow-ground-hand-painted-florals","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
