A delightful and highly collectible piece of French ceramic art, this antique majolica asparagus plate is a true classic of the barbotine tradition. The plate is masterfully molded to cradle a bundle of asparagus spears, which are hand-painted with rich, glossy glazes in shades of vibrant green and deep mauve. The design is completed with elegant, ochre-hued rococo scrolls at the rim and a charming, integrated scallop shell that serves as the perfect well for hollandaise or vinaigrette.
Perfect for its intended purpose of serving fresh asparagus, this plate also makes a stunning decorative object for display in a china cabinet or as part of a gallery wall. It measures 9.5 inches in diameter and stands 1.5 inches high. The piece is in excellent antique condition, with the beautiful, fine crazing to the glaze that is characteristic of its age and adds to its authentic, storied character. A must-have for any majolica collection, this plate is ready to bring a touch of French country charm to your table.
