Long before porcelain was perfected in the north, Moustiers in Provence was producing faience that rivaled it, each piece painted by hand with a practiced brush. This 18th century dish, found in Carpentras, carries that tradition in its soft white tin glaze and delicate blue decoration, with a fine border and a small floral motif at its center. The gently undulating rim and slight irregularities in the glaze remind you it was made and handled, part of a regional craft that supplied tables across southern France; Sylvie sets it out on a kitchen counter with a few lemons or beside a stack of linen napkins, letting the blue and white do what it has always done best. Exactly as pictured.
