Each French glazed terracotta gratin dish carries a stamped maker's mark on the base, partially legible and appearing to read \"SPORT\" or similar, set within an oval cartouche — a detail that points toward an identified French regional pottery, likely mid-20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe glaze is a warm amber-ochre tone applied to the interior and upper rim, contrasting with the unglazed, raw terracotta exterior which shows the natural reddish-brown clay body. The interior surface has a good glossy finish with minor crazing and small dark specks typical of low-fired earthenware. The two dishes differ slightly in form: one is more elongated and shallow, the other is rounder and slightly deeper, suggesting they may come from the same workshop but represent two different mold sizes. Both display the characteristic hand-finished rim edge and slightly irregular oval outline consistent with artisan production. The unglazed base and exterior walls show age-related darkening and use marks consistent with oven use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe oval dish measures approximately 22.5cm x 15.5cm x 4cm \/ 8.9\" x 6.1\" x 1.6\". The rounder dish is slightly smaller in length. Both dimensions are confirmed by the seller's description.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese dishes are well suited for table service of individual gratins, tapas-style appetizers, or small roasted portions. As a matched pair in complementary sizes, they also work as decorative display items alongside other French country pottery. The visible maker's mark adds interest for collectors of regional French ceramics.\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-optimised --\u003e\n\u003c!-- fmf-shopify --\u003e","brand":"Fleamarketfrance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57525129183576,"sku":"224483320371_A493_D753_F711__D57","price":154.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0895\/5776\/2392\/files\/57_5dc7d290-3f21-4e85-9994-4d33b6b2b06b.jpg?v=1781633554","url":"https:\/\/fleamarketfrance.com\/products\/vintage-french-terracotta-gratin-dishes-1606267","provider":"Fleamarketfrance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
