A terracotta plat à gâteaux for cake or quince or figs - anything which deserves a little elevation à table - decorated with white slip and sgraffito, glazed with washy colours in straw, sap and peat. In contrast, the foot is entirely unglazed, only stamped with the small patterns and incisions which feature around the perimeter of the 1690 saltbox and tian. A low, modest form allowed to warp a little in the process of drying out which produces the characteristic uneven wobble.
