Set of 12 Vintage French Stainless Steel Escargot Plates | 12 Snail Recesses

A substantial set of 12 vintage French stainless steel escargot plates, each designed with 12 individual recesses for serving snails. Sourced from a traditional French brocante market, these classic dishes are an authentic piece of French dining culture and ideal for entertaining, restaurant service or a collected farmhouse kitchen.

Traditionally used for escargots à la bourguignonne, each plate holds 12 snails securely in place for serving with garlic and herb butter. Their simple stainless steel construction also makes them useful for serving quail eggs, devilled eggs, appetisers or tasting portions.

These plates have the look and feel of traditional French catering ware and show the expected signs of previous use, including light surface scratches and wear. They remain solid, clean and in good used condition.

With a complete set of 12 matching plates, they are particularly well suited to larger dinner parties, French-themed entertaining, restaurants, cafés or anyone building a collection of authentic French escargot tableware.

Condition & authenticity

These are genuine pre-loved French brocante pieces rather than new reproductions.

The plates are in good used condition and remain solid and clean. As expected from vintage catering and tableware, there are light scratches, marks and surface wear from previous use. Please study all photographs carefully as they form an important part of the condition description.

These signs of previous use are part of the character of authentic French brocante tableware and do not detract from their practical use.
