Antique Hand Painted Porcelain Oyster Shooter with Gilt Grey Blue

Rare to find Antique Hand Painted Porcelain Oyster Shooter with hand painted gilt details. There are many antique oyster plates, but there aren't many shooters, or individual dishes. Easily misplaced because of their size, they weren't part of a standard porcelain dinner service. These are heavy porcelain, and perfect for individual oyster servings, a rare opportunity to add to your oyster plate collection. Each one was individually painted, and glazed, there are variations in the colors, but these are the exact two you will receive. One has a small under the glaze indent on the rim, but it was fully glazed and sold this way long ago.

These porcelain individual shooters are stunning. The exterior of this lovely dish resembles a natural oyster shell. The interior was glazed in soft pastel colors, then hand-painted with golden gilt sea weed and fish, they have dimension to the paint. Numbered by hand on the bottom with their style no. Each is a work of art, choose one pair or several to highlight your next oyster party! Sold as a set of two.
