Hand-thrown in rural France in the late 19th to early 20th century, this earthenware omelette-turning plate carries the rich warmth and rustic charm of the French countryside. Its deep caramel glaze is accented with traditional slip-trailed swirls, an iconic detail seen on utilitarian pottery from farmhouse kitchens across France.
Designed with a subtly raised foot and wide, shallow form, these plates were once used for turning omelettes. The cook would slide the cooked eggs onto the plate, flip them back into the pan, and finish the fold with ease. Over generations, these humble plates became staples in provincial homes, valued for both their practicality and beauty.
Display it upright as a sculptural accent, layer it into a wall collection, or let it anchor a kitchen vignette with a touch of French farmhouse history.
Found in Normandy, France, circa 1890
The plate shows the honest marks of use, light surface wear, glaze variations, and age-softened edges, adding soul and authenticity to its presence
Plate measures approximately 12.125” diameter x 2.5” H
The custom iron easel measures 3.75” W x 4.75” D x 6.5” H
