Antique Rectangular Platter, LM&Cie Creil et Montereau Flora Lichen

This is an antique rectangular platter from the Creil et Montereau pottery, part of the Flora Lichen series.

The series is a rare collection, made not from earthenware but from porcelain, with lichen as its motif.
It features a beautiful contrast between translucent blue and white, and the powerful lichen patterns extending from the rim give it a vibrant impression.
The design delicately expresses the way lichen attaches to rocks and trees and grows, embodying both the strength and beauty of nature.

It's a wonderful design that you'll want to display and enjoy.

Condition: There is a large, repaired crack. Cracks from manufacturing are also visible.
