The Margot Bowl
The Margot Bowl
Found at a market in Amiens, northern France. A small terre de fer bowl in the Margot pattern, made by Grands Etablissements Ceramiques de Saint-Amand around 1900–1923 — daisies wind around the inner rim and a thistle-leaf spray climbs the outside, in soft petrol blue on creamy white.
There is a hairline crack from the rim toward the center, so the bowl is for decorative use only — lovely for bread in a linen napkin, fruit, or small things in the kitchen. Otherwise fine antique condition with light crazing, and an unusually crisp backstamp naming both factory and pattern.
Measurements: height 6 cm (2.4 in), diameter 16 cm (6.3 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.
