Set of 5 Ochre Ceramic Oyster Plates, France, Mid 20th Century

A set of five French ceramic oyster plates in a warm golden-brown glaze, each plate moulded with five scallop-shell oyster wells radiating from a central sauce cup, all framed by a basketweave-textured border. The relief moulding is crisp and well-defined throughout, and the warm honey glaze gives the set a unified, appetising character. A classic and highly collectible form of French faience tableware, perfect for entertaining or displayed as a group on a kitchen or dining room wall.
