Vintage Plate Longchamp Poisson Carpe (Carp) B
This is from the "Poisson" series by LONGCHAMP Pottery.
This particular fish is a "Carpe" (carp). The aquatic plants and even the details of the riverbed are delicately depicted.
The sight of the carp swimming gracefully makes this a charming piece.
The rim of the square plate features gold gilding with aquatic plant and seaweed patterns, beautifully framing the vibrantly drawn fish.
Such "poisson" (fish) designs are gaining renewed attention in France and are becoming a popular series.
It's wonderful to display it on an open shelf, in a kitchen space, or on your favorite wall.
Please enjoy it in your preferred setting.
