Description

SOLD

A French porcelain oyster plate, circa 1890-1910.

Octagonal in shape and glazed in a lovely soft turquoise, the five oyster wells sit on a bed of stylized coral or sea weed.

The white shells are tipped in bright pink and have hand-painted ‘eyes’. The shells meet in the center in a mass of seaweed.

Gorgeous color! Dimensional mold work.

Book Reference: Oyster Plates, Karsnitz, pg. 81

8.5 inches in diameter x 1.25 inches high.

Marked with impressed mold numbers and the red oxide painters number.

Very good antique condition. Minor paint loss to the high points in the center, nothing to detract.
