Also known as a vire omelette plate, the form was designed specifically for flipping omelettes the traditional way. That's why it was formed with a wide sloping rim, shallow center well, and a substantial foot underneath that doubles as a grip when turning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePractical and beautiful. It is an inspiring piece of French culinary history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe earthenware body is finished in a soft yellow ochre glaze with beautiful age crazing throughout. Underneath, kiln marks and glaze drips remain visible, while small rim chips reveal the warm red clay beneath. The single incised ring around the rim is the only decoration, and honestly, it does not need anything more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeaned on a shelf, filled with walnuts in their shells, or actually used for Sunday omelettes, this old vire-tourne carries the feeling of a real Provençal farmhouse kitchen with it. The kind of pottery that feels instantly at home once it is there.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52447084970327,"sku":"CER-066","price":330.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/french-vire-style-omelette-plate-yellow-earthenware-2.jpg?v=1767442336","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/products\/french-vire-style-omelette-plate-yellow-earthenware","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
