19th Century French Faience Blue & White Vide-poche Dish (Fretted) C.1850

19th century
Description

A charming 19th-century French faience vide-poche, decorated in classic blue and white with a pastoral figure beneath a tree.

The moulded scalloped rim and small side handle give it that unmistakable French country character. The scene is transfer printed, surrounded by delicate floral sprays, with a simple painted decorator’s mark to the underside.

Dating to around 1850–1880, this piece was likely used as a small sweetmeat dish or dressing table tray. Today it works beautifully as:

– A jewellery dish

– An entryway key tray

– A bedside trinket plate

– A decorative accent layered with other blue & white

The glaze shows gentle age-related wear consistent with the period, adding to its charm.

A lovely, affordable piece of antique French ceramic — decorative, practical and full of character.

Origin: France

FAQs

French faience is a form of tin-glazed earthenware that emerged in France during the late sixteenth century, inspired by Italian maiolica. The technique involves coating an earthenware body with an opaque white glaze containing tin oxide, which provides a canvas for hand-painted decoration before a final firing.

Traditional faience vide-poche dishes are crafted from clay earthenware, coated with a tin glaze, and painted using mineral metal oxides such as cobalt for blue pigments. The fired glaze creates a soft, semi-opaque white surface with distinctive brushwork motifs.

Authentic nineteenth-century pieces often exhibit minor glaze chatter, slight irregularities in the hand-moulded body, unglazed foot rims showing reddish or pale buff earthenware, and hand-painted brushwork rather than transfer prints.

A ceramic vide-poche dish functions as a functional tray on an entryway console table for keys, on a dressing table for jewellery, or displayed on a sideboard as part of a curated blue-and-white ceramic arrangement.

Clean tin-glazed earthenware by dusting gently with a soft dry cloth. Avoid submerging in water or using abrasive chemical cleaners, as crazing or chips in the glaze can allow moisture to penetrate the porous underlying earthenware body.
