Set of Two Ironstone Porcelain Oyster Plates

Set of Two Ironstone Porcelain Oyster Plates

$68.00

Stunning 19th-century oyster plates, crafted in very fine white porcelain and signed ‘MF’ on the underside. Originally created for elegant French dining, these plates were once part of formal service in homes and restaurants where oysters were served as a delicacy, often on holidays or special occasions.

Oyster plates became especially popular in the 19th century and were considered a mark of refined taste. A French table classic, these white porcelain oyster plates are both elegant and versatile. Originally designed for serving oysters on the half shell, they also lend themselves beautifully to artful presentations of shellfish, condiments, or even small bites like pickles and olives.

Sold as a set of two.

Details:
• 19th-century French porcelain.
• Set of 2 matching plates.
• Signed on the underside.
• Each plate measures approximately 23 cm in diameter.
• Molded shell motif with scalloped edge.
• Very fine porcelain with a lustrous glaze.
• Excellent condition; light signs of age.

  • As with all vintage and antique items, please look closely at the details in the images. We note breakage or chips if apparent, but the patina which is inherent of age, or wear from 50-100+ years of existence and use -- is assumed for older pieces and is not considered a flaw or defect.

  • This item is sent with international express service if postage paid exceeds the $25 minimum fee and is otherwise sent with regular post. Tracking and shipping updates are available online through the destination country website.

    Small items can be combined in one package and this sometimes provides a savings in shipping as long as they are calculated in the same order invoice.

  • All items that I sell are acquired in France and ship from France. All purchases are packed and shipped with extreme care.  Because I adore everything I sell, I fully describe every item and welcome any questions about dimensions, condition or origin.
