A particularly unusual vintage French brocante find, this charming set of traditional escargot serving dishes comes with the individual snail cups separately, rather than having the cups moulded into the plate. This distinctive arrangement makes the set especially interesting vintage kitchenware.

Made from a warm, rustic stoneware/terracotta-type ceramic, the dishes have a lovely handmade character, with variations in colour, glaze and texture that give them genuine vintage French appeal. The separate cups can be arranged within the serving dish for serving snails, or the pieces can be used creatively for entertaining, appetisers, dips and small portions.

An unusual and decorative example of French escargot tableware, equally suited to a country kitchen, French farmhouse interior, restaurant or anyone who loves authentic vintage French homewares.
