Vintage Mid-Century California Pottery Chef Chip & Dip Platter

A kitschy, retro ceramic serving dish shaped like a whimsical French chef. It is finished in a high-gloss brown glaze, typical of California art pottery from the 1960s or 1970s. The top section (the chef's face/hat area) functions as the dip bowl, while his scroll-like belly is designed to hold chips or crackers. The center features an embossed mid-century recipe that reads: "Onion Soup Dip: 1 cup sour cream, 2 tblsp. onion soup mix, 1/2 tsp. garlic salt, chill well."
