Know before you buy
While this piece is made of ceramic, it is primarily intended for decorative use or as a small catch-all dish. Due to its age and hand-painted finish, we recommend using it for display rather than as active dinnerware.
This plate features a signature on the underside, which serves as the artist's mark. These markings are consistent with mid-century French ceramic production and confirm its origin as an authentic piece from the 1950s.
The plate measures 6.75 inches in diameter and stands 1.25 inches high. Its petite size makes it ideal for a vanity, entryway console, or as part of a wall-mounted display.
As an authentic vintage item from the 1950s, the plate may exhibit minor character marks consistent with its age. These subtle imperfections are part of its history and do not detract from the overall charm of the hand-painted floral motif.
The plate does not come with built-in hardware for hanging. If you wish to display it on a wall, you will need to use a standard adhesive plate hanger or a wire display stand.
