Era: Circa 1900
Origin: France
Material: Terre de Fer
Dimensions: 16.3” L × 13” W
DESCRIPTION
A beautiful antique French terre de fer serving platter from Lunéville, dating to around the turn of the 20th century and decorated in an elaborate blue Rocaille pattern.
The generously sized rectangular form features softly rounded corners and a wonderfully detailed transferware decoration of birds, foliage, scrolling cartouches, and ornamental flourishes. The deep blue imagery contrasts beautifully against the warm ivory ground, while subtle molded details around the border give the platter an additional layer of texture.
Marked on the reverse with a Lunéville factory backstamp, the piece is associated with the celebrated ceramic tradition of Lunéville in northeastern France. The mark appears consistent with Keller & Guérin production, though the attribution is based on the visible backstamp and available research.
Originally part of a French table service, its substantial scale makes it especially beautiful today as a serving piece or displayed upright on a shelf, console, or kitchen wall.

Era: Early to Mid 20th century
Origin: France
Material: Glazed Stoneware
Dimensions: 7” H × 6” Opening × 11” W (handle to handle) × 10” H with lid
DESCRIPTION
A beautifully timeworn French stoneware confit pot with its matching lid, finished in a warm creamy glaze and distinguished by decades of natural patina.
The rounded body features two generous loop handles, subtle incised banding around the shoulder, and an incised “Z 6” marking—a wonderful surviving detail of the vessel’s utilitarian past. The matching lid bears an impressed number “3.”
Traditionally, vessels of this form were used in French kitchens for preserving and storing foods. Today, its simple proportions, neutral coloring, and wonderfully aged surface make it a beautiful decorative piece for open kitchen shelving, a hutch, or a collected tabletop arrangement.
The softly aged glaze displays beautiful tonal variation, crazing, and patina throughout, giving the piece the warmth and character that only years of use can create. Its substantial size and original lid make it an especially charming addition to a collection of French country pottery.

Era: Late 18th to Early 19th Century
Origin: France
Material: Tin-Glazed Earthenware (Faience)
Dimensions: 6.25” Ø × 2.25” H
DESCRIPTION
A beautifully timeworn French cul noir faience dish, distinguished by its richly glazed manganese reverse and delicate hand-painted blue decoration set against a traditional tin-glazed ground.
Cul noir, meaning “black bottom,” refers to the deep manganese glaze applied to the reverse of these wares—a distinctive characteristic found on French faience produced in several pottery centers during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Originally created for everyday use, pieces like this have become highly sought after for the warmth, authenticity, and history they bring to a collection.
This smaller example has aged beautifully over centuries of use. Its softly shaped form and hand-painted blue decoration are complemented by the surface variations and signs of wear that give antique faience its unmistakable character.
Today, it is equally compelling displayed on a wall, layered among collected plates and platters on open shelving, or styled atop a table or antique cabinet. Its smaller scale makes it especially lovely layered alongside other pieces of French faience.

Originally made as a container for preserves from the Auvergne region of France, the pot has a wonderfully simple utilitarian form that has become especially decorative with age. The warm, softly weathered terracotta and charcoal-gray lettering give it the understated character of an old French kitchen piece.

Era: Mid 20th century
Origin: France
Material: Handwoven Wicker & Glass
Dimensions: 11.5” H × 6.5” Ø base
DESCRIPTION
A beautifully preserved French wicker-covered demijohn dating to the mid-20th century, handwoven around a substantial glass vessel in the tradition of French wine and cider making.
Demijohns like this were once an essential part of everyday life throughout the French countryside, used to transport and store wine, cider, vinegar, and other household provisions. The woven wicker casing helped protect the glass during handling while adding strength and durability for practical everyday use.
This example is especially beautiful for its deep, darkened wicker and richly developed patina. The handwoven casing has wonderful tonal variation throughout, while the thick braided carrying handle adds another layer of texture and character. The glass remains visible around the shoulder and neck, where years of age and use have left a beautifully cloudy, timeworn surface. The vessel also retains its cork closure.
The contrast between the dark, aged wicker and weathered glass gives this piece a particularly sculptural presence. Whether displayed on its own, grouped with other antique vessels, or styled on a tabletop or open shelving, it brings warmth, texture, and a collected European feel to a space.

Era: Late 18th to Early 19th Century
Origin: France
Material: Tin-Glazed Earthenware (Faience)
Dimensions: 11” L × 8” W
DESCRIPTION
A beautifully timeworn French cul noir faience platter, distinguished by its richly glazed manganese reverse and delicate hand-painted blue floral decoration set against a traditional tin-glazed ground.
Cul noir, meaning “black bottom,” refers to the deep manganese glaze applied to the reverse of these wares—a distinctive characteristic found on French faience produced in several pottery centers during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Originally created for everyday use, pieces like this have become highly sought after for the warmth, authenticity, and history they bring to a collection.
This example has aged beautifully over centuries of use. The softly scalloped oval form is framed by a hand-painted blue border and central floral motif, while the surface displays extensive, honest crazing that speaks to its age and long life. The worn edges, glaze losses, and utensil marks tell the story of a piece that was once an active part of a French household.
Today, it is equally compelling displayed on a wall, layered on open shelving, or styled atop a dining table or antique cabinet. Its rich patina and unmistakable signs of age give it a presence that cannot be replicated.

CONDITION
Fair to good antique condition with significant wear consistent with centuries of use. The platter exhibits extensive age-related crazing throughout the tin glaze, scattered glaze losses, rim fritting and edge wear, surface staining, and firing imperfections characteristic of early French faience. The manganese-glazed reverse also shows expected wear from age and handling. These imperfections are not defects but rather part of the platter’s history and contribute to its authenticity and character.

Era: Vintage
Origin: France
Material: Wood
Dimensions: 18” L × 16” H including handle
DESCRIPTION
A wonderfully rustic French wooden trug, sourced in France and beautifully marked by years of use. Its simple utilitarian form is made especially striking by the deep, darkened wood patina, worn surfaces, and traces of old red paint still visible along the front.
The tall bentwood handle and angular sides give the piece a sculptural quality, while the irregularities, old nails, weathering, and softened edges speak to its working past. The faint remnants of red paint are particularly charming—perhaps once part of an old marking or lettering, though its original purpose is unknown.
A beautiful piece displayed on its own or used to hold linens, dried branches, books, or other collected objects.

Surface wear, discoloration, old nail holes, scratches, and irregularities are present throughout and contribute to the character of the piece.
