Title

A charming small round yellowware platter from Dieulefit, a renowned pottery village in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of southeastern France. Handcrafted circa 1950s, this petite platter features a richly glazed ochre yellow finish with a gently burnt brown rim, a classic detail of traditional Dieulefit earthenware. Its size makes it perfect for serving small bites, cheeses, fruit, or simply displayed as a rustic decorative accent.

 

Dieulefit pottery, made from the area's naturally refractory clay, has been produced for over 2,000 years. Once strictly utilitarian — meant for daily use in homes and kitchens —these ceramic wares have evolved into collectible pieces, appreciated for their honest forms and warm, tactile finishes. The village’s ceramic legacy reached new heights in the 20th century, when artisans began blending traditional wheel thrown techniques with more expressive and artistic glazes.

 

Today, Dieulefit remains a vibrant center for French ceramics, with over 40 workshops continuing the craft. Vintage pieces like this small round platter are increasingly sought after for their authenticity, craftsmanship, and Provençal charm.

 

Perfect on its own or grouped with other Dieulefit pieces, this small platter adds a touch of French country warmth to any kitchen, dining room, or open shelf. *Large oval platter and large round platter in photos sold separately.

Dimensions:

diameter - 15"

h - 1"
