Ironstone -- the dense, durable faience blanche produced widely across France from the mid-nineteenth century onward -- was the workhorse of the French table, and this piece carries all the honest character of that tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe form is classic and well balanced: a broad, gently scooped oval well edged by a flat, lipped rim, all covered in a smooth creamy white glaze that has mellowed to a soft, warm ivory. Turned over, the base reveals a single raised ridge running along the foot and an unglazed oval foot ring -- details consistent with period production. No maker's mark is legible on the base. The platter reads beautifully on a farmhouse sideboard, laid out for cheese or charcuterie, or simply displayed on a plate rack or open shelf among other French whites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition and patina consistent with age. Light wear and minor age marks are visible along the outer rim and foot, and a small dark spot is present near the rim edge -- all in keeping with a piece that has lived a full French life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApprox. 15.9 in long x 11 in wide x 2.2 in deep (40.5 x 28 x 5.5 cm).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e95% of my items are tariff-free to the US.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- fmf-shopify --\u003e","brand":"Fleamarketfrance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58695946273112,"sku":"FMF-ZEGKPZ2T","price":105.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0895\/5776\/2392\/files\/9dc7effdbb54d6ace8bad7f716153557.jpg?v=1791450534","url":"https:\/\/fleamarketfrance.com\/products\/french-white-ironstone-oval-platter-0810267","provider":"Fleamarketfrance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
