“Yette” Blue & White Plates - Set of 5 - Sarreguemines - 1930s–40s

Bring a touch of relaxed French country style to the table with this five-piece Sarreguemines “Yette” ensemble!

It pairs two deep soup plates with three breakfast plates, all decorated in saturated cobalt on warm white glaze. The pattern’s hand-painted leaves and blossoms are laid in broad, expressive strokes with a zig-zag border that frames food beautifully.

These plates were used and loved — there’s utensil wear, glaze crazing, and tonal variations that give them soul. Two plates show small rim chips (see close-ups); the set remains sturdy, charming and ready for another century of service or display.
