ANTIQUE PRE-1890 PORCELAIN LUSTREWARE


A fine antique hand painted molded porcelain iridescent oyster plate; likely European.

6 oyster wells and a center condiment well for sauces.

Each shell is pale blue at the "attachment point", and is painted with an oyster 'scar'. Surrounding the wells is an embossed ribbed pattern; lustreware accented with gold.

SIZE: 9.5” in diameter. 


Impressed into base with the numbers 3329 & 17.


In 1890, the McKinley Tariff Act was passed, requiring imported items to be marked with the country of origin. This plate does not have a country marking, which leads one to assume that it was made prior to 1890.
