Lefranc", this French barbotine platter features a beautifully crafted floral motif in high relief, showcasing exquisite attention to detail. Delicate roses, lilacs, and morning glories are meticulously sculpted, with each petal and leaf highlighted in soft, naturalistic colors. The flowers seem to bloom directly from the surface, creating a three-dimensional effect that is both elegant and lifelike. The background is painted in a soft blue, providing a serene contrast to the vibrant floral elements.
