French earthenware brand Sarreguemines. This generous serving dish (serviteur muet) is not only an aesthetic masterpiece but also an interesting historical object.
The dish features the specific 'DV' signature, indicating a production period between 1920 and 1950 (Digoin & Vitry-le-François). This piece bridges the transition from late Art Deco to early Mid-Century Modern design.
Features:
Design: Executed in the iconic Majolica style with hand-painted relief of flowers and leaves on a warm honey/caramel-colored base.
Unique detail: The striking blue flower with 'fat lava' texture gives the dish a modern edge for its time.
Size: With a diameter of no less than 32 cm, this is an XL model, much larger than the standard serving dishes in this series.
Finish: Fitted with the original, gold-colored ornate handle. Condition:
In very good vintage condition. No chips, cracks, or repairs. The glaze displays fine, authentic crazing, confirming the age and authenticity of this nearly 80 to 100-year-old piece.
