Sarreguemines Ribeauvillé Stenciled Faience Plate

A striking Sarreguemines France Ribeauvillé faience plate, featuring a bold geometric border interspersed with stylized bees or floral motifs in deep blue and ochre. The design was applied using the pochoir (stencil) technique, a method that allowed for crisp, consistent patterns while still preserving the charm of hand-applied decoration.

At 11 inches in diameter, this plate is generously sized for serving or display. The Ribeauvillé mark on the underside ties it to the Alsace region, where Sarreguemines produced some of France’s most beloved faience. Visible crazing throughout the glaze reflects the natural aging process of antique earthenware, enhancing its character and authenticity.

Styling Ideas:

Whether displayed on a wall, styled in an open-shelving kitchen, or layered into a table setting, this plate brings effortless French charm. Pair it with other faience or rustic earthenware to create a collected, lived-in feel.
