{"product_id":"antique-green-earthenware-octagonal-plates-french","title":"Antique French Green Glazed Plates | Pair from the Drôme | Late 19th to Early 20th Century","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat really grabs you about this pair of antique French plates is the glaze. That deep bottle green terre vernissée (glazed earthenware) surface has incredible depth. It's the kind of color you only seem to find in old pottery from the Drôme and surrounding parts of southern France.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLikely dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, with a faceted twelve (12) sided form and a simple beaded border around the rim. It's a classic look with an amazing color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe warm terracotta clay shows through underneath and along the worn edges where decades of use softened the glaze back. You can still see darker speckling in the glaze along with faint turning rings underneath from the wheel. There are small chips, scratches, and glaze wear throughout, which simply show the life these plates have lived.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are the kinds of plates that make simple food look fantastic. Bread, olives, cheese, tomatoes, a bottle of rosé on the table... suddenly the whole room feels more Provençal. They also look beautiful hung on a kitchen or gently stacked next to the stove. A really good pair with tons of warmth and character still intact.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52408908349783,"sku":"TWE-005","price":463.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/antique-green-earthenware-octagonal-plates-french-2.jpg?v=1766575433","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/products\/antique-green-earthenware-octagonal-plates-french","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
