The Cahors Compotier
The Cahors Compotier
Found at a market in Provence, this footed compotier was made by the faïencerie of Saint-Amand in northern France in the early 1900s. The pattern is called "Cahors" — garlands of flowers in soft teal green, framed by a trellis border that repeats around the pedestal foot.
Once the centerpiece of the French dessert table, it now makes a lovely small cake stand or fruit dish. Good antique condition: no chips or cracks, with fine crazing and soft age-toned staining to the glaze. Please see photos.
Measurements: 23.5 cm in diameter, 5.5 cm high (9.25 in × 2.2 in).
All items are antique or vintage and may show small signs of age and use — part of their authenticity and charm. Please review the photos closely, or contact me for more details. Each piece is carefully wrapped and sent with tracked shipping.
