Antique French Oyster Service with Platter & 6 Plates

A beautiful table is often about the details that make guests feel especially welcome. This late 19th century French oyster set brings a wonderful sense of occasion with its large serving platter and six individual plates, each shaped with delicate molded scallop sections. The clean lines and subtle relief showcase the skill and sensibility of French porcelain makers from this period, while the luminous white porcelain is wonderfully versatile, equally at home on a traditional French table or paired with more contemporary linens and silver.

Finding an antique oyster set with all seven pieces together is increasingly rare, making this a particularly special find. What makes it even more wonderful is the condition. Unsigned and acquired in France, it was most likely made by one of the notable French faïenceries producing this type of molded tableware in the late 19th century, such as Saint-Clément, Clément Massier, or Creil-Montereau. Bring it out when oysters or seafood are on the menu, or hang the platter and six plates together on a wall, where their repeating scalloped forms create a beautiful composition. A fabulous opportunity to acquire a full oyster service together, and enjoy it for years to come.
