Antique Plate, Longwy, Muguet (Lily of the Valley) A

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

The lily of the valley, also known as "Kagero-sou" (shadow-hiding plant), evokes the image of a beautiful and modest woman who cherishes her loved ones and quietly watches over them from the shadows.

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

The design evokes the modest beauty of the lily of the valley. The deep greenish-blue and white pottery further enhance its elegance. Between the patterns, small floral reliefs are applied, adding a soft, lace-like impression, making this a charming series.
