1970s French Glazed Pottery Platter with Bull Motif, Vibrant Southern Colors
Located in Auribeau sur Siagne, FR
Description: This striking glazed pottery platter, crafted in France in the 1970s, features a bold and expressive black bull at its center, surrounded by vibrant accents of yellow, green, and blue. Reminiscent of the work of southern French ceramicists from the 1960s, the platter evokes the sun-soaked spirit and artistic freedom of the Mediterranean coast. A piece full of character and color, it serves equally well as a decorative statement or a functional serving dish. Key features include: Southern French Aesthetic: The energetic brushstrokes and vivid color palette call to mind the styles of Vallauris and other southern ceramic traditions, celebrated for their earthy forms and Mediterranean vibrancy. Central Bull Motif: The powerful black bull, a symbol of strength and rustic heritage, anchors the piece in both myth and regional culture, while the surrounding colors create movement and contrast. Vibrant Glaze Work: The layered glazes in yellow, green, and blue enhance the platter’s visual dynamism, catching light and adding depth to the composition. 1970s French Craftsmanship: Made in France during a creative and bold era for ceramics, this platter is an authentic reflection of regional craftsmanship and artistic innovation. Decorative & Functional: Suitable as a centerpiece on a dining or coffee table, mounted on a wall, or used as a serving platter, it brings color and energy to any setting. Versatile Integration: Its graphic motif and strong palette make it ideal for modern, rustic, or eclectic interiors, effortlessly bridging traditional charm and contemporary appeal. This 1970s French glazed pottery platter is a celebration of color, culture, and craftsmanship—a perfect piece for those who appreciate authentic regional ceramics and bold artistic expression.

Antique and Vintage Serveware, Ceramics, Silver and Glass

Your dining room table is a place where stories are shared and personalities shine — why not treat yourself and your guests to the finest antique and vintage glass, silver, ceramics and serveware for your meals?

Just like the people who sit around your table, your serveware has its own stories and will help you create new memories with your friends and loved ones. From ceramic pottery to glass vases, set your table with serving pieces that add even more personality, color and texture to your dining experience.

Invite serveware from around the world to join your table settings. For special occasions, dress up your plates with a striking Imari charger from 19th-century Japan or incorporate Richard Ginori’s Italian porcelain plates into your dining experience. Celebrate the English ritual of afternoon tea with a Japanese tea set and an antique Victorian kettle. No matter how big or small your dining area is, there is room for the stories of many cultures and varied histories, and there are plenty of ways to add pizzazz to your meals.

Add different textures and colors to your table with dinner plates and pitchers of ceramic and silver or a porcelain lidded tureen, a serving dish with side handles that is often used for soups. Although porcelain and ceramic are both made in a kiln, porcelain is made with more refined clay and is more durable than ceramic because it is denser. The latter is ideal for statement pieces — your tall mid-century modern ceramic vase is a guaranteed conversation starter. And while your earthenware or stoneware is maybe better suited to everyday lunches as opposed to the fine bone china you’ve reserved for a holiday meal, handcrafted studio pottery coffee mugs can still be a rich expression of your personal style.

“My motto is ‘Have fun with it,’” says author and celebrated hostess Stephanie Booth Shafran. “It’s yin and yang, high and low, Crate Barrel with Christofle silver. I like to mix it up — sometimes in the dining room, sometimes on the kitchen banquette, sometimes in the loggia. It transports your guests and makes them feel more comfortable and relaxed.”

Introduce elegance at supper with silver, such as a platter from celebrated Massachusetts silversmith manufacturer Reed and Barton or a regal copper-finish flatware set designed by International Silver Company, another New England company that was incorporated in Meriden, Connecticut, in 1898. By then, Meriden had already earned the nickname “Silver City” for its position as a major hub of silver manufacturing.

At the bar, try a vintage wine cooler to keep bottles cool before serving or an Art Deco decanter and whiskey set for after-dinner drinks — there are many possibilities and no wrong answers for tableware, barware and serveware. Explore an expansive collection of antique and vintage glass, ceramics, silver and serveware today on 1stDibs.
