This is an Asparagus and Artichoke Plate from France

This interesting ceramic plate was made in France between 1880-1900. The plate contains an indentation on one side in the shape of an artichoke, probably to serve artichokes in.

This lovely plate is made by Majolica and is marked Depose K G Luneville. The main color of this plate is a gorgeous turquoise color, and the artichoke and asparagus heads are a vibrant purple color, topped with green.

These beautiful plates are hand-thrown, evidence of which can be seen in the straw marks which show on the plates.

These Majolica plates do show some sign of their age, due to the nature of the material, however there are no chips, cracks or other repairs to the plates. The full hallmark is on the back of this plate. Please view the photos below for details of these colorful plates. They measure 9" diameter.
