19th Century French Majolica Asparagus Plate

Exceptional 19th Century French Majolica Asparagus Plate, a French majolica barbotine asparagus plate from Keller and Guerin,  Luneville, in the Lorraine region of France. Four purple tipped asparagus lay on a bed of green leaves against a turquoise ground. This 1880’s decorative plate features a creamy yellow basket weave design, edged by a scalloped turquoise rim.

Seen in “Artichauts et Asperges en Barbotine,” by Maryse Bottero. A deep molded sauce well is on one side of the asparagus spears. Excellent age related condition, beautiful to display in your French Country dining room hutch, so stunning with vivid glazing and vibrant colors. Individually molded, hand painted, then glazed, each is unique.

Multiples available.

• Measure: 9-1/2″.
