A beautiful antique French Faïence Longchamp majolica oyster plate featuring a rich emerald green basket weave glaze accented by a brown rope border. Dating to the 1920s, this elegant serving piece is a wonderful example of classic French majolica craftsmanship.
The plate is molded with six bright white shell-shaped wells surrounding a raised central well designed for lemon wedges, mignonette, cocktail sauce, or other condiments. The contrast between the glossy white shell wells and vibrant green glaze creates a striking presentation, making it as decorative as it is functional.
Sourced from France, this oyster plate makes an impressive display piece for a kitchen, dining room, or china cabinet and is equally suited for serving oysters, shellfish, shrimp cocktail, or hors d'oeuvres.
The absence of a maker's mark is not uncommon on early French faïence and is consistent with antique production. Based on the style and glaze, this piece is attributed to Longchamp.
