Longwy compote dish “Frivolité” – antique earthenware with geometric decoration

Compote dish in Longwy earthenware from the "Frivolité" decor, featuring a geometric border in cobalt blue, orange, and green on a slightly cracked ivory background due to age. The decor alternates between stylised floral motifs and geometric fragments in a late Art Deco spirit mixed with early 20th-century French popular influences. The earthenware exhibits a beautiful natural patina with a slight network of fine cracks visible under the glaze, typical of older productions. The low silhouette on a foot gives a discreet and elegant presence on the table. Mark on the reverse: Longwy. Probable dating: 1920s–1930s. Dimensions: Diameter: 22 cm, Height: 5 cm.
