Omelette Turning Plate Vallauris - Late 19th Century - 9"

SKU: 20065

US$299
This late 19th-century omelette turning plate, or “vire-omelette” in French, was crafted in Vallauris, a town in southeastern France with a deep-rooted ceramic tradition.

Vallauris became a prominent pottery center due to its rich deposits of clay, attracting potters since Roman times. By the Renaissance, Vallauris potters specialized in durable, everyday ware for local use. The 19th century marked a pivotal period for Vallauris, as the region experienced a resurgence in ceramic production driven by both functional and decorative demand.

This plate was designed specifically for the French kitchen, where it served to flip omelets by holding the foot on the underside as a handle, allowing a smooth turn. Although originally intended for culinary use, it now provides decorative interest, reflecting both the practicality and artistry of Vallauris ceramics in the late 1800s. The plate exemplifies the craftsmanship that has made Vallauris pottery prized among collectors and enthusiasts of Provençal ceramics.
