Vintage French Bread Platter

A nice example of a vintage oval shaped antique French bread platter with a deeply carved motto, dating from the mid 20th Century, with a "Donnez Nous Notre Pain Quotiden" motto in French.

This oval bread plate stands out with its rich colouring and nicely carved details. The carving of the motto is very clear and crisp still, and the bottom of the platter is framed by nice detailing of a wheat ear. 

The motto is the French equivalent of Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread. The signature of the carver is also evident in the bottom right corner. 

This is a heavy and solid piece. There is some light wear from use but overall it's in excellent condition.
