{"product_id":"rustic-french-coq-plate-country-kitchen-ceramic-faience","title":"Antique French Faience Plate | Hand-Painted Rooster | Late 19th Century","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis antique French faience plate has a rooster with real personality at the center. Painted by hand in turquoise, yellow, green and some warm red... le coq stands proudly in his yard. He's framed by simple bands of yellow and light blue edge detail. It has that wonderful French country feeling: colorful, useful, a little playful. It is certainly full of charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis antique French faience plate likely dates from the late 19th century, around 1870 to 1900. It is tin-glazed earthenware, likely produced somewhere in provincial France. No maker’s mark is visible, which is common for country pottery of this kind. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rooster feels expressive and that is part of what makes the plate so appealing. It looks like something made for a real French table that everyone would enjoy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface shows a heavy network of craquelure, along with light pitting and small glaze losses along the rim. These are the marks of a plate that has been used for well over a hundred years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, it would be beautiful on a kitchen wall, leaned on a plate rail, or placed on a sideboard with linen napkins and a stoneware pitcher. The rooster gives it enough character to hold its own and the rest of the plate brings that wonderful Provencal touch.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52498635456855,"sku":"FAI-027","price":585.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/rustic-french-coq-plate-country-kitchen-ceramic-faience-2.jpg?v=1767896484","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/products\/rustic-french-coq-plate-country-kitchen-ceramic-faience","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
