Vintage Asparagus Plate, Chantilly A

French Vintage CHANTILLY Asparagus Plate / Divided Dish

This is a vintage asparagus plate that graced traditional French dining tables.
From the 19th to the early 20th century, a passion for beautifully and deliciously serving asparagus led to the creation of many specialized dishes like this in France.

■ Design and Features
・Functionally beautiful divider: The indentation at the bottom of the plate is for holding sauces (Hollandaise sauce or vinaigrette). By arranging asparagus in the wide space above, the sauce does not mix until just before eating, allowing you to enjoy the original flavor of the ingredients.
・Elegant relief: The delicate relief around the rim and the wavy form cast elegant shadows on the white porcelain.

■ Suggested Uses
Beyond asparagus, it's perfect for combinations of "main + dip" such as appetizer platters, gyoza or dim sum, sashimi, scones and jam. It also makes a lovely decorative tray for keys or accessories.
