Antique Oval Large Plate Longwy Muguet (Lily of the Valley)

This is an antique oval platter from the Longwy Muguet (Lily of the Valley) series.

The lily of the valley is also known as "Kimikagesou" (Shadow of the Lord's Grass), evoking the image of a beautiful and modest woman who cherishes her loved ones and watches over them from the shadows.

With its simple and understated beauty, the lily of the valley has long been known in France as "the flower that brings happiness" and "the flower that brings happiness again." May 1st is "fête du muguet," a day to give lilies of the valley to loved ones. Also, because it resembles a veiled bride, it is a flower often given at weddings.

This pattern evokes the modest beauty of the lily of the valley. The deep greenish-blue and white pottery enhance its elegance. Between the patterns, there is a relief of small floral motifs, adding a soft, lace-like impression, making this a very charming series.

There are crazing and stains. Please note that these are present on both the front and back.

Size: 42cm x 29.5cm x 5cm (height)
