Hand-Painted French Oyster Plate with Coastal Charm - 9½"

Charming vintage French oyster plate hand-painted with expressive oyster shell decoration in soft green and brown tones..

A delightful piece for entertaining or display in a coastal-inspired interior, perfect styled with linen, wicker and other vintage French majolica tableware. Condition and patina consistent with age.
