Vintage French Blown Glass Plate / Coupelle 8"

A vintage assiette (plate) or shallow coupelle (small bowl) in verre soufflé (blown glass) from Patricia Wells’s kitchen in her Paris apartment. The clear glass shows subtle seeding and a gentle waviness that catches the light, with a faint circular swirl at the center that reveals its handworked origin. The low, rounded rim sits easily in the hand and the profile is neat and trim, inviting everyday use with the intelligent simplicity and honest craftsmanship Patricia prizes. Patricia connects it to the rhythm of cooking and serving: “Use as a platter or as a saucer; you can set a strainer over the top,” explains Patricia. This has been a graceful companion to both Paris and Provence kitchens.
