This striking set comprises twelve majolica oyster plates and one large matching serving platter, beautifully crafted in the style of Longchamp, France. Each plate features a vivid green basketweave ground, contrasted with six creamy white scallop-shaped wells encircling a central round well designed for lemon or sauce. The larger server, with its generous size, offers additional wells and a prominent center, making it the perfect companion piece for presenting oysters, shellfish, or hors d’oeuvres in elegant style.
The plates showcase the distinctive charm of French majolica, with their richly glazed surfaces, tactile relief, and harmonious color palette. The green and ivory tones are accentuated with a fine brown trim, highlighting the sculptural quality of the shell forms. Dating to the late 19th century, this set embodies the refinement and artistry for which Longchamp is celebrated.
One plate has a small accident on the rim, though it does not detract from the overall beauty and usability of the ensemble. Whether displayed as a collector’s service or used for entertaining, these oyster plates and server bring a touch of coastal sophistication to any table.
