Details

This Vieux Paris shell dish is a superb example of 19th-century French porcelain artistry. Its hand-painted floral bouquet at the center, paired with an apricot-pink rim and lavish gilt detailing, reflects the elegance and refinement of historic French tableware. Originally designed as a relish or condiment dish, it would have elegantly held cornichons, nuts, or other small delicacies at a French dining table.

Today, it shines as a decorative display piece, embodying the artistry and charm of Vieux Paris porcelain. Though unmarked, its style is reminiscent of works by prominent Old Paris workshops such as Jacob Petit, Dihl & Guérhard, and other Parisian studios active in the 19th century. Time has kissed the gilt and apricot rim, allowing a soft, antique patina to emerge that speaks to the dish’s storied 19th-century history, please enlarge the photos to see.The delicate painting, pastel rim, and gilt highlights firmly place it in the Vieux Paris tradition, making it a rare and collectible piece for lovers of European antiques, hand-painted porcelain, and fine decorative arts. Complimentary U.S. shipping included.

  • Measures 10-1/4" x 5-3/4" x 2"h.
