Fives-Lille French Majolica Artichoke and Asparagus Serving Platter, circa 1890

About the Item

From the Fives-Lille Faiencerie in France, a scarce Artichoke and Asparagus platter, circa 1890-1900. Made of earthenware, the oval center is boldly glazed and shows the leaves and globe of the artichoke plant along with three asparagus spears. The wide border is formed of eight hand-painted cartouches showing flowers and butterflies. The cartouches are separated by powder blue scalloped moldings. The shaped rim is hand lined in burgundy. This large platter displays beautifully. Fives-Lille was founded by the Belgian potter, Antione Gustave De Bruyn. He opened his pottery manufacture at Fives-Lille, in the northern part of France in 1864, and added majolica glazed wares in 1887. He was awarded the silver medal at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1889. 15 in. L x 11.5 in. W x 1 in. H Marked: a mold number, 153 with the signature of the painter. In very good antique condition with the expected overall crazing due to age and use. A faint, short, stable hairline is seen to the rim of the verso, unseen to the front.
