This late 19th-century dish from Savoy exemplifies the region's famed rustic pottery traditions. The dish features a flat, shallow form with a warm, earthy terracotta base. The interior is decorated with a cream-colored glaze adorned with hand-painted dark brown polka dots around the rim, adding a playful and artisanal touch. Subtle green brushstrokes further enhance its charm, offering a vibrant yet understated contrast. The glaze shows visible signs of wear, including a patina developed over time and a crack near the rim, which adds to its authentic character. The underside is unglazed, showcasing the natural terracotta and turning marks from the potter’s wheel.

Dishes like this were typically utilitarian, used in rural Savoyard households for serving or preparing food. The polka-dot decoration is a common motif in the region's ceramics, reflecting a combination of simplicity and rustic artistry. The hand-thrown nature of this piece, along with the visible imperfections, underscores its handmade quality. These dishes were often multi-functional and would have been used for serving or even as baking vessels. Today, such pieces are appreciated for their decorative appeal and connection to Savoy’s pottery heritage, making them collectible items that bring warmth and history to interiors.
