About the Item

A striking large vintage yellowware oval platter from Dieulefit, a picturesque village in southeastern France with a pottery tradition stretching back over 2,000 years. This rustic yet refined earthenware platter, handcrafted circa 1950s, features a rich ochre yellow glaze with a distinctive burnt brown rim, a hallmark of traditional Dieulefit pottery. The surface has a subtle, softly speckled finish that speaks to the hand thrown nature of the piece and the artisanal touch of its maker. Made from refractory clay that's known for its durability and heat resistance, Dieulefit pottery is ideal for both cooking and serving. Historically, these pieces were considered utilitarian ceramics, crafted for everyday use in the kitchen and at the table. While rooted in function, they also possess a quiet beauty, with simple, well-balanced forms and natural glazes. By the mid-20th century, the area’s pottery evolved into a respected art form, as local potters embraced not only traditional techniques like wheel-throwing and hand glazing, but also a more expressive, artistic approach. Today, Dieulefit remains a vibrant center for ceramic arts, home to more than 40 workshops and studios. Perfect for serving main courses, cheese or charcuterie, seasonal fruits, or simply displayed on a wall or shelf, this platter exemplifies that balance and brings timeless Provençal charm and artisan craftsmanship to any space. *Large round platter and small round platter in photos sold separately.
