If you’re looking for old world charm, look no further. This 18th century platter is from the Rouen region of northern France where Norman folk designs were common on servingware.
The hand-painted design sits slightly off center, a subtle reminder of the human hand behind its creation. This gentle irregularity adds warmth and character that feels truly one of a kind. The hand-stapled repair (6 staples total) speaks to a time when treasured pieces were carefully mended and kept in use.
Its dark underside, known as cul de noir (“black bottom”), features a durable glaze designed to withstand direct heat from the fire or stove.
Striking displayed on its own or layered into a collected plate wall, this platter brings depth, character, and a quiet sense of history to any space.
Measurements: 13.75” x 10.25”
