Unlike the more commonly seen deep green asparagus wares, this piece features a refined pastel barbotine palette—soft pink florals, celadon-toned vines, and delicately modeled asparagus spears in blush and ivory relief. The result is both sculptural and decorative, with a lighter, more romantic sensibility.

Originally designed with molded channels to cradle and drain asparagus, these plates are now highly sought after for their decorative appeal—ideal for wall installations, open shelving, or layered tabletop styling.
