Sarreguemines French Majolica Trompe L’Oeil Greek Key Border Napkin Bread Tray

About the Item

From the Sarreguemines Majolica line, a trompe l’oeil napkin bread tray, France, circa 1885-1890. An earthenware, faïence bread tray modeled as a cloth napkin with a floral and checkered pattern and a Greek key border. The two end handles are formed as the napkin tied into bows. The napkin drapes lengthwise, furthering the tromp l’oeil effect. Clear glazing on a cream colored clay ground with a hand painted sepia glaze to the key pattern. The last two photos show the bread tray paired with an Egg Box Pâté Terrine from the same line - offered separately. Marked: Sarreguemines Majolica, the mold number 1450 Measures: 17 in. L x 10 in. W x 2.25 in. H In good antique condition - a small nip to the underside of one corner, not seen to the front of the platter. The expected minor darkening we often see to these clear glazed pieces.
