Found in Paris and in excellent condition, this piece carries the timeless elegance of classic 19th and early 20th-century French faïence, making it perfect for both functional use and decorative display.
A Piece with a Story
Raviers were a staple of French dining traditions, commonly used for serving small delicacies like pickled vegetables, seafood, or charcuterie. This piece, with its intricate floral transferware design and softly aged glaze, reflects the refined aesthetic of French provincial and Parisian table settings.
A late-19th-century French ironstone (terre de fer) piece, most plausibly the “Fontanges” pattern by Sarreguemines (Utzschneider & Cie). This red transferware design is famous for its dense floral bouquets and scrollwork (rinceaux) in a Rococo revival style.
