The glazes run through the warm ochre, amber, sage and forest green that feel entirely native to Provence — deep and slightly uneven in the way that only hand-thrown work achieves. One dish carries a painted olive branch border; another bears a small decorative motif in the Provençal tradition. When not in use, they lived in the \"Marseille cabinet,\" a superb antique vitrine in Chanteduc's living room, displayed among other pieces that were equally admired and put to work. One of the small rectangular dishes appears on page 194 of *The French Kitchen Cookbook*.\n\nArranged together on a kitchen shelf or sideboard, they make a handsome and coherent group — the palette shifts just enough across the set to keep it interesting. Scatter them across a table at drinks time exactly as Patricia did, or press them into service as soap dishes, where their scale and depth of glaze are perfectly suited.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eLight wear.\u003cbr\u003eVarying sizes b\/w 3½\" and 6¾\" long    \u003cbr\u003eVarying sizes b\/w 9cm and 17cm long  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chez Pluie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54310837387602,"sku":"25445","price":594.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1166\/6698\/files\/DSC01137_ea9beb6f-3f1f-4368-a2cf-f1c9394d1d57.jpg?v=1787303618","url":"https:\/\/www.chezpluie.com\/products\/collection-of-8-handmade-miniature-dishes-saucers","provider":"Chez Pluie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
