Antique Round Deep Plate, Longwy Muguet (Lily of the Valley)

An antique round deep plate from Longwy featuring the Lily of the Valley series.

This deep plate, generously adorned with lilies of the valley, possesses an elegant presence. Its beauty, which doesn't overpower, is akin to the lily of the valley itself.

There is a chip on the back, but it does not affect the front. This large plate is in very good condition with almost no cutlery marks.

The lily of the valley is also known as "Kimi Kage Sou" (shadow-watching grass), evoking the image of a beautiful, modest woman who thinks of her loved ones and quietly watches over them from the shadows.

With its simple and understated beauty, the lily of the valley has long been famous in France as "the flower that brings happiness and restores happiness." 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 often given as a wedding flower.

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