Early 20th-Century Savoyard Matafan Dish - 11¾"

This early 20th-century Savoyard plate, known as a "plat à matafan", reflects the region's rustic pottery traditions. Crafted from terracotta, it features a warm orange glaze accented by a hand-painted border of undulating green waves interspersed with black dots, creating a lively and decorative edge. 

Originally used for serving matafan, a traditional Savoyard dish akin to a thick pancake or omelette, this plate is a charming piece of culinary heritage. Today, it can be repurposed as a unique wall decoration, a serving platter for bread or pastries, or a striking centerpiece on a dining table. Its vibrant colors and artisanal details make it a beautiful addition to both rustic and contemporary interiors, celebrating the craftsmanship of the French Alps.
