Antique "Daisy" Terre de Fer Plates | Paris Market Ironstone, c. 1890.

France, circa 1890.

There’s something unmistakably Parisian about these.

A refinement—where utility meets ornament, and even the everyday table is treated with intention. Crafted in terre de fer, the durable faïence favored in French homes and cafés alike, this set of eight plates carries a graphic elegance that feels just as at home now as it did over a century ago.

The border is what draws you in. A finely rendered garland of florals and scrolling foliage in soft graphite, framed by a delicate ochre beaded edge and anchored by a restrained line of oxblood red. Subtle, but deliberate. The kind of detail that doesn’t shout—but changes everything.

Turn them over and find the mark: Dépot, 21 Rue Drouot, Paris.‍ ‍Designed to be used, layered, and lived with.

Because every good room needs a past.
