Name: Vintage French Escargot Ironstone Plate stamped Pillivuyt, France, c. 1960
SKU: 31147
Availability: InStock

Vintage French Escargot plate designed specifically for serving snails in their shells. The six wells hold each snail in an individual pocket to keep it upright. The dish is typically put into the oven so the classic butter–garlic–parsley mixture can bubble around the snails without spilling. The material is high-fire porcelain, which withstands high temperatures and keeps heat well.

Escargot plates with this classic six-well form became standard in France by the late 19th century. As shown, the plate has a stamp on the bottom Pillivuyt, France.

This plate is in very good condition with just some
useage marks primarily on the bottom.

Measures: 6 1/2” tall x 1” deep.

This is an authentic piece sourced during my recent buying trip to England. I have been sourcing these wonderful pieces for over 12 years from sources who are actually digging them up in ancient rubbish sites all over England. I purchased my first antique Advertising pot when my husband and I had the wonderful opportunity to live in England in the 1980’s. Our daughter was born there and we enjoyed living in England so much we often went back to visit after returning to the US.

Interestingly, this same daughter’s husbands job moved them to London were we have enjoyed visiting our grandchildren and traveling the countryside antiquing.

On our many visits we have became friends with many of the “diggers” excavating the ancient dumpsites all over the UK and now source thousands of pots from them every year. I still love the charm they add to every room they are placed in.

Returns are not accepted on these rare authentic pieces but please contact if you have any questions.
