Each plate features six oyster wells surrounding a central sauce compartment, a design that was the height of French dining sophistication in the late 1800s.

Perfect for serving oysters on the half shell (or shrimp cocktail if you’re feeling playful), these plates also moonlight beautifully as display pieces — hung on a wall, styled in a china cabinet, or used to add a touch of aristocratic flair to a modern table.

Available individually, or as a complete set of six. Please message us if you’d like the full set — we’re happy to extend special pricing through a Private Offer.
