Crafted on a Limoges porcelain blank and decorated in Paris, the plate features six wells surrounding a central reserve, each finished with whimsical marine life — shrimp, fish, mussels, crab, and starfish — in colorful detail. Marked on the underside with a Paris retailer’s scroll cartouche.

Painted with all the flair of a Parisian seafood feast, these plates would have felt right at home in a mid-century brasserie. Today, they’re just as versatile — perfect for oysters, hors d’oeuvres, condiments, or sweets. And when not in use? They double as striking wall art, framing a larger platter, mirror, or piece of coastal décor with effortless French charm. Light wear consistent with age, no damage noted.

Available alongside our separate listing of a matching Set of Six Paris Sea Life Oyster Plates. Please message us if you’d like to combine sets — we’re happy to extend combined special pricing through a private offer.
