    I think this is a piece of early Quimper Pourquiet Beau faience . How would you describe it? I wonder if it is a stand or trivet perhaps. 24cm square

    Just realised it is actually Pouplard Beatrix Malicorne not Quimper and yes the the French sellers seem to use tablemat as all one word.

    I had it spelled that way first, but spell check gave me a red line. :)

    We call those table mats here, too. Or tea pot stands. A trivet is usually wrought metal.

    Yes they are often wrought metal but if you search ceramic trivet you will find plenty of non-metal examples.
