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.
