19th Century Set of Six French Majolica Asparagus Plates

About the Item

A very unusual and beautiful set of six French barbotine majolica asparagus serving plates, featuring a typical 'trompe l'oeil' textured decoration of globe artichokes and purple asparagus tips, artfully entwined with each other to create a pleasing colour palette of creams, greens, golds and purples. Made in the renowned ceramic-producing Orchies area of north-eastern France, around the end of the 19th century. A second set of 6 matching Majolica plates is available. Please take a look at our other matching items, which include an oval-shaped asparagus serving platter of the same design.
