Set of 7 French Majolica Oyster Plates + Platter in the Manner of Longchamp, 1920s
A set of six French majolica oyster plates with a matching serving platter, made in the manner of Longchamp and dating to the 1920s.
Each plate is formed in relief, opening into shell-shaped wells arranged around a central cup. The composition feels almost like a flower, the shells spreading outward in a loose, natural rhythm.
The glaze has softened over time. Deep teal moves into sea-green, settling into the recesses, while the shells sit in a milky white that has mellowed with age. A fine craquelure runs across the surface—subtle but consistent—giving the pieces a sense of depth that only comes with time.
Between the shells, a basketweave pattern sits just beneath the glaze. It reveals itself slowly, catching light at certain angles. The palette and surface reflect the Longchamp tradition—saturated glazes and coastal motifs shaped through relief.
