Large French White Glazed Ceramic Salad Bowl - 13¾"

A large white ceramic salad bowl, French, dating from the early to mid-20th century and of unknown provenance. The absence of a maker’s mark suggests a regional production for daily domestic use. This example features a shallow conical body that rises to a widely flared, everted rim and rests on a short foot ring. The clear, bright white glaze enhances its graceful profile. Though generously sized, it remains pleasingly light in the hand. Scattered firing specks, faint utensil traces within the well, and slight roughness along the rim speak to its handmade character and timeworn charm.

Its generous scale and luminous surface make an easy centerpiece on a farmhouse table filled with fruit or greens. It sits well on open shelving in a French country or coastal kitchen, lending a clean note against wood and stone. Style it with linen, pewter, or wicker for texture, or use it on a sideboard to serve salads at gatherings, where its understated presence complements both traditional and contemporary tables.
