Vintage Oval Platter, Digoin & Sarreguemines Agreste

This is a vintage Agreste series oval platter from Digoin & Sarreguemines.

In French, "Agreste" means rustic, simple, or unpretentious.

The bouquets depicted on the plate, featuring poppies, foxgloves, thistles, and daisies, are all plants commonly seen in the French countryside.

The unpretentious, rustic beauty adorns the floral-rimmed plate.

The red line on the rim subtly tightens the space and enhances its splendor.

The playful spirit of the maker, evident in the varying flowers decorating the rim on different plates, may also be a reason for its popularity.
