I am hoping some of you can enlighten me with more information on this stack relish tray. The back says what I think is Vallauris and after some research, seems to be a town in France known for its pottery. What are your thoughts? The other marks seem to say "Traditions Rouen Decor" maybe, then I dont have a guess after that... any insights would be greatly appreciated. All the best. - Ken

    "Main" means "hand"; decor main=hand decorated. I can't see any kind of mark that will help.

    Agree, it was made in Vallauris, in Provence, southern France.
    I think Traditions Rouen could mean that it is in the style of Rouen faience, which is a Renaissance-inspired style. Rouen is in Normandy, in the west of France.

    Agreed on all counts, aj

    I bet this had a wooden undertray.

    Vallauris is where a lot of Picasso's 1950's pottery came from-famous ceramic town.
    The transfer/design looks 18-19th century trad-the signature more modern.
