Antique
An antique ironstone pedestal serving dish found in Alsace, likely originating from France circa late 19th to early 20th century. This elegant compotier is crafted by the historic earthenware manufacturer Sarreguemines, featuring a pristine milky-white glaze over a heavy ironstone body. The minimalist design is defined by a perfectly flat, wide serving plate raised on a sleek, flared pedestal foot. Historically, dishes of this silhouette—stamped on the reverse with the company's "CHINA" coat of arms—were pride-of-place serving pieces in French households, designed specifically to present elegant frosted cakes, fruit tarts, or delicate pastries at the tea table.

At Maison Amaranth, we love this compotier displayed on a kitchen counter or open shelving, where its bright white glaze brings a sense of calm and heritage. It’s striking filled with seasonal fruit, dried flowers, or left empty as a sculptural standalone piece.
