Set of 12 vintage French faience knife rests in the Moustiers tradition, hand-painted and signed.
These elegant knife rests feature the classic Moustiers decorative repertoire: green botanical and palm motifs, ochre and gold scrollwork, manganese cross accents, and the characteristic scalloped border in warm brown. The decoration is consistent and lively across all twelve pieces. Each rest bears a handwritten monogram signature on the underside, confirming artisan production.
The prismatic form is the traditional French knife rest shape (porte-couteau), designed to hold cutlery off the tablecloth between courses — a classic element of the formal French table.
