Dating from the end of the nineteenth or start of the twentieth century, this charming antique French glazed terracotta footed bowl or 'vire omelet' features a pretty yellow glaze with decorative ocher squiggles. It comes from Chanteduc, the home of Patricia and Walter Wells in Provence, and most likely was made in the Drôme region of France. It is used for turning an omelet out on a plate once cooked - a fun piece of French culinary culture. A lovely piece to display fruit and add a touch of the south of France to your home.
