Antique 18th Century French Faience Butter Dish/Jewelry Dish, French Proverb

This plate is a French faience plate, likely from the 18th century, decorated with a polychrome design and an inscription.
Faience is a tin-glazed earthenware. The decoration is described as "polychrome," meaning it uses multiple colors, including blue, green, and a reddish-orange. The term "petit feu" refers to a specific firing technique used to achieve a wider range of colors, rivaling those of porcelain.
The plate also features a French inscription in the center: "On se veut, on s'enlace on se lasse, on s'en veut," which translates to "We want each other, we embrace, we get tired of each other, we resent each other." Such plates with proverbs or sayings were a popular form of decoration. This can be seen translated in the last photo
The style of the plate, including the "petit feu" technique, is associated with French faience production during the 18th century. Specific regions like Malicorne, La Rochelle, and Nevers were known for producing this type of pottery
