About the Item

A large vintage round yellowware platter from the historic pottery village of Dieulefit, nestled in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of southeastern France. Handcrafted in the 1950s, this generously sized platter features a warm ochre yellow glaze with a distinctive burnt brown edge—a hallmark of traditional Dieulefit ceramics. Its clean, classic form and earthy Provençal tones make it both practical and visually striking. Crafted from the region’s refractory earthenware clay, Dieulefit pottery has been valued since Gallo-Roman times for its strength and resistance to heat, making it ideal for everyday use in the kitchen and at the table. These were once humble, utilitarian pieces, designed for function, but with time and the influence of local artisans, they evolved into works of simple beauty. By the mid-20th century, Dieulefit had become a vibrant center for artisan pottery, drawing creatives to its sun-drenched landscape and rich ceramic heritage. The region is now home to over 40 workshops, and vintage pieces like this platter are increasingly sought after by collectors for their rustic charm, honest craftsmanship, and connection to France’s enduring ceramic traditions. Whether used for serving, displayed on a wall, or styled in a cabinet, this round Provençal earthenware platter offers timeless French country elegance and artisanal provenance. *Large oval platter and small round platter in photos sold separately.
