A beautiful and increasingly rare set of five antique French oyster plates by Limoges, each with softly scalloped wells and a central sauce reservoir. These plates feature a luminous creamy ivory glaze contrasted against a misty gray ground, finished with delicate gold fleck and hand-applied gilt accents that catch the light beautifully.
This set comes from a private family collection and belonged to the seller’s grandmother, lending it both age and provenance. The subtle variation in glaze and gilding from plate to plate speaks to their hand-finished nature and early production.
Oyster plates like these were once the height of French entertaining, designed for elegant seaside lunches and salon-style gatherings. Today, they're equally beautiful displayed on a wall, styled on open shelving.
