Longwy asparagus dish "Betty"

This earthenware, with its great graphic rigor, embodies the modernist revival of table arts inspired by the Longwy factory. Designed under the stylistic influence of Maurice Paul Chevallier, the "Betty" model breaks away from traditional naturalism to impose pure geometric lines. The structure stands out with a relief-molded background resembling wickerwork, designed to isolate and drain asparagus, while the greige glaze is paired with a frieze of hand-painted circular dots on the handles in moss green and umber tones. A characterful utilitarian piece that adds a historical signature and real added value to a contemporary table.
