Decorated entirely by hand (décoré à la main), this piece features a vibrant floral motif on a bright turquoise background, showcasing intricate detailing and vivid colors that are characteristic of Longwy’s enameling techniques.
The scalloped edge enhances its elegant form, creating a flowing, natural shape that complements the dynamic floral design. The surface is adorned with delicately painted flowers and leaves, combining shades of red, yellow, green, and blue to produce a lively and harmonious composition. The meticulous application of enamel reflects the artistry and expertise of Longwy’s craftsmen, who have upheld their reputation for quality since the 18th century.
The base of the dish is marked with the iconic Longwy crest, confirming its authenticity. The stamp includes the words “Émaux de Longwy” and “France,” alongside the phrase “décoré à la main,” highlighting the artisanal nature of this piece. The underside features a crackled glaze, adding texture and character, a hallmark of traditional Longwy ceramics.
This dish is not only a functional serving piece but also a collectible work of art, ideal for displaying as a centerpiece or enhancing a curated interior. Its vibrant design and historical significance make it a timeless treasure for lovers of French decorative arts.
