This dish is a statement piece. Its rounded square rim, typical of Digoin-Sarreguemines production from the 1950s-1970s, gives it an instantly recognizable silhouette, halfway between tableware and a decorative object. The Niger pattern is one of the manufacturer's classics. On the warm cream background, a dark burgundy gingham grid runs diagonally across the entire rim, creating a strong and very contemporary graphic effect. At the four corners, small bouquets of pink berries and dark green foliage, precisely stenciled, provide the floral touch that softens the overall design. The contrast between the austerity of the gingham and the roundness of the berries is precisely what gives this pattern its charm. The Digoin-Sarreguemines factory is one of the great names in French earthenware. Established in Sarreguemines in 1790, it expanded to Digoin in the 19th century and became one of Europe's most significant producers of fine earthenware. Its dinner services, stenciled patterns, and original shapes graced generations of French tables. The stamp on the reverse, bearing the Niger pattern name and shape number 68, allows for precise dating to the 1960s production. With its 28 cm diameter, this dish naturally finds its place in a country kitchen, on a mismatched table, or in an open display cabinet where it commands attention. The burgundy gingham pairs well with linen, terracotta, raw wood. A piece with lasting character. Front in very good condition, a few signs of use on the reverse with no impact on presentation.
