The colors of the faience marbrée in lavender and bright green is what stopped me in my tracks! Soft lavender swirls move across the glaze in gentle, flowing layers, this is a beautiful example of late 1800's faience marbrée.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe contrast is what makes it special — the light, open wirework made by an artist's hands, paired with the soft movement of the ceramic center. Both useful and decorative, just as it was over 100 years ago in a French kitchen or service room. Age has given the wire a lovely patina, the glaze is just as glossy as when it was first fired on. This is such a rare French piece, it will bring such a spark to your collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasures 8-3\/4\" x 2-3\/4\"h.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCollector's Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe swirling, tortoiseshell-like surface is known in French ceramic history as barbotine marbrée or cailloutage. The effect was created by floating tinted clay slips across the earthenware surface before sealing it with a clear, glossy glaze. The result is a soft, marbled movement in the glaze—each piece completely unique, with no repeating pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"frenchgardenhouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46610080825398,"sku":null,"price":375.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/1612\/0886\/files\/Antique_French_Fil_de_Fer_Basket_with_Rare_Marbled_Sarreguemines_Plate-front.jpg?v=1781727883","url":"https:\/\/frenchgardenhouse.com\/products\/antique-french-fil-de-fer-basket-with-rare-marbled-sarreguemines-plate","provider":"frenchgardenhouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
