Its hand-crafted profile is slightly irregular, while the decoration is particularly simple and graphic: a warm orange ground is enlivened by a cream-colored concentric band and a freely drawn wavy border. Scratches, rubbing and areas of glaze loss are visible throughout, creating a softly worn patina that speaks to its long use in the kitchen. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA \u003ci\u003etourne-omelette\u003c\/i\u003e, or \u003ci\u003evire-omelette\u003c\/i\u003e, was traditionally used to turn an omelet so it could cook on both sides, with the raised foot providing a secure grip during the maneuver. Now intended for decorative use, this smaller example is especially appealing for its rustic simplicity and bold, graphic decoration. It would sit beautifully on a kitchen shelf or island, either displayed empty or used to hold a few pieces of fruit, garlic or other dry produce. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition and patina consistent with age.\u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 8¼\" diameter 2\" high    \u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 21cm diameter 5cm high  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chez Pluie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54535887814994,"sku":"25728","price":375.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1166\/6698\/files\/DSC06356_c4c1e622-8aab-41ef-9c72-f8c7c9af5411.jpg?v=1788764821","url":"https:\/\/www.chezpluie.com\/products\/small-antique-provencal-earthenware-tourne-omelette-with-orange-and-cream-glaze-81-4-diam","provider":"Chez Pluie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
