Turquoise asparagus plate – 19th century majolica slip – Antique earthenware

Sublime antique earthenware plate, probably from Lunéville, dating from the 19th century, in the pure majolica style. This exceptional piece features a relief decoration typical of the barbotine technique, highlighting delicately painted asparagus and a turquoise blue surround decorated with fruits and foliage. The plate displays a superb color contrast with an off-white central scene, touches of soft green and purple on the asparagus, and a vibrant turquoise blue outline that brings a touch of elegance and freshness.
