A striking pair of French Palissy majolica crab plates dating to the mid-20th century. Designed as a matching set, the plates feature two different crab species—a Snow Crab and a Rock Crab—beautifully rendered in high relief against richly textured seabed backgrounds.
Decorated with shells, seaweed, and marine motifs in vibrant shades of crimson, green, ochre, and cream, these sculptural plates exemplify the naturalistic style that made Palissy ceramics so beloved. Their bold color, dimensional form, and organic detailing align perfectly with today's interest in coastal chic, cottagecore, French country, grandmillennial, and maximalist interiors. Sourced in Brittany, France
