This handled dish immediately captivates with the richness of its decoration and its excellent state of preservation. The cream earthenware is bright, the glaze is intact, and the colors of the central bouquet have lost none of their freshness. At the center of the dish, a blooming bouquet brings together tulips, chrysanthemums, anemones, and roses in a composition that is both dense and airy. The mauve, yellow, white, and rust hues naturally complement each other. On the rim, small secondary bouquets discreetly punctuate the space, creating a refined decorative rhythm. The gadrooned handles, accentuated by a burgundy fillet that also runs along the rim, give the piece its character. This type of serving dish, typical of French production from the first half of the 20th century, was designed to be presented at the table and passed from hand to hand. On the reverse, the printed rectangular stamp attests to its manufacture by B. Charbonnier in Salins-les-Bains, in the Jura region, a French factory renowned for its fine earthenware with floral decorations. With its total width of 30 cm including handles and its well measuring approximately 24 cm in diameter, the dish has a real presence. In an open china cabinet, on a sideboard, or simply displayed as decoration, it brings that warmth characteristic of interiors where beautiful antique tableware coexists with everyday life. Impeccable condition, without chips or cracks.
