Rare oyster plate in barbotine Saint-Clément K&G 19th century

Magnificent and rare antique oyster plate in majolica, from the prestigious Keller & Guérin (K&G) factory in Saint-Clément, dating from the late 19th century, around 1890. A superb collector's piece distinguished by the finesse of its decoration and the richness of its colors. It features five elegant shells in shades of purplish pink, delicately sculpted in relief, surrounded by seaweed and tender green foliage. Its polylobed shape, shiny glazes, and particularly intricate details testify to the craftsmanship of the pottery of that era. An uncommon model, particularly decorative and sought after by enthusiasts of antique majolica, oyster plates, and 19th-century ceramics. A piece that will fit well in both a collection and as a beautiful wall decoration or curiosity cabinet. K&G Saint-Clément signature present on the back. Very good condition for its age. Some slight signs of time and use, fine crazing of the glaze, and possible tiny chips. No significant chips or cracks noted. Very nice shine of the glazes and well-preserved colors. Diameter: 22.5 cm. Height: 2 cm. Weight: 500 g.
