Antique Deep Plate, Longwy, Muguet (Lily of the Valley) D
This is an antique deep plate from the Longwy Muguet (Lily of the Valley) series.
Deep plates create a sense of depth, giving the design a three-dimensional feel. They also look lovely when combined with flat plates.
The lily of the valley is also known as "Kimi Kage Sou" (meaning "grass that shades you"), evoking the image of a beautiful and modest woman who thinks of her loved ones and quietly watches over them from the shadows.
With its rustic and understated beauty, the lily of the valley has long been famous in France as "the flower that brings happiness and brings happiness again." May 1st is "fête du muguet," a day when people give lilies of the valley to their loved ones. It is also a popular flower for weddings, as it resembles a bride wearing a veil.
The design evokes the modest beauty of the lily of the valley. The deep greenish-blue color and white ceramic enhance its elegance. Small floral relief patterns between the main motifs add a soft, lacy impression, making this series truly captivating.
Crazing, stains, and cutlery marks are present. There are also hairline cracks. This deep plate shows significant signs of use.
