This is an antique plate from the Muguet (lily of the valley) series by Longwy Pottery.

An antique plate you'll want to add to your cherished collection. This piece is perfect for displaying on a shelf or using to hold accessories, rather than keeping it tucked away.

The lily of the valley is also known as "Kagikusa" (shadow flower) in Japan, evoking the image of a beautiful and modest woman who thinks of her loved one and quietly 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. 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 and white pottery enhance its elegance. Between the patterns, small floral reliefs are applied, adding a soft, lace-like impression, making this a truly charming series.
