Know before you buy
While the dish is made of glazed ceramic, it is primarily intended as a decorative catch-all or trinket tray. We recommend using it for keys, jewelry, or small office supplies rather than food service.
To preserve the integrity of the 1950s glaze and the floral etching, gently wipe the dish with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid submerging it in water or using harsh chemical cleaners.
The dish measures 6.25 inches in diameter and stands 1.75 inches high. Its compact profile makes it ideal for placement on a console table, nightstand, or desk.
As an authentic piece from the 1950s, this Vallauris ceramic may show minor character marks consistent with its history. These subtle imperfections are typical of mid-century artisanal craftsmanship and contribute to its vintage appeal.
The dish features a glazed finish, which provides a smooth, protective sheen over the ceramic surface. This glaze helps highlight the intricate floral etching while adding a subtle reflective quality to the warm brown and tan tones.
