19th Century Rare Terracotta and Silver Dish with Vieillard Hallmark

About the Item

This exquisite 19th-century French serving dish exemplifies the era’s refined craftsmanship, seamlessly blending rustic earthenware with elegant silver accents. The terracotta bowl features a rich, glazed interior, ensuring both durability and a warm aesthetic appeal. Enhancing its sophistication, the silver overlay showcases intricate repoussé work with ornate rococo motifs, including scrolling acanthus leaves and floral embellishments. The lid, adorned with matching silver accents, is crowned with a detailed finial, possibly depicting a mythical creature or floral flourish, underscoring its luxury appeal. A notable feature of this piece is the silver hallmark, known as the “Vieillard” or “Michel Ange” mark, representing a profile of an elderly man with curly hair. This hallmark was used in France between 1819 and 1838 to certify silver of high quality, typically 950/1000 purity. The presence of this mark not only authenticates the dish’s French origin but also precisely dates its creation to this specific period. Additionally, the maker’s mark “HD” is present, indicating the work of a master silversmith. While the exact identity of this artisan remains to be confirmed, the quality of the silverwork reflects the expertise and attention to detail characteristic of esteemed craftsmen of the time. The detachable silver frame enhances the dish’s versatility, allowing the earthenware base to be used independently if desired. Its impressive craftsmanship and design make it suitable for both display and practical use, adding sophistication to any table setting or collection. In excellent condition, this serving dish is a rare find that embodies the harmonious blend of rustic and refined styles characteristic of 19th-century French decorative arts. It is an ideal acquisition for antique enthusiasts or anyone seeking a unique, timeless addition to their collection.
