A charming vintage oyster plate, likely of German origin, featuring softly molded shell-form wells arranged around a central scallop-shaped compartment. The palette is particularly appealing—creamy ivory and blush-accented wells set against a pale celadon ground, finished with a delicate gilt edge that adds just the right amount of refinement.
The sculptural glazing and gentle color variations give this piece wonderful depth and character, making it equally suited for use or display. Whether styled on a bar cart, layered into a china cabinet, or used as a jewelry or trinket dish, it brings a quiet elegance and coastal-inspired charm to any setting.
A timeless piece that feels at home in both traditional and collected, European-style interiors.
Dimensions: Approximately 8” diameter
Condition:
Very good vintage condition.

Light age-appropriate wear to the underside and minor surface variations consistent with vintage glazed ceramics
