About the Item
Rare Mid-20th Century French Hand-Painted Majolica Asparagus Service
A very rare and extensive French hand-painted majolica asparagus service, mid-20th century, comprising 26 dinner plates, two large oval covered serving dishes, and a gravy boat with underplate. Each dinner plate (Ø 10.25″) is individually hand-painted with naturalistic asparagus stalks entwined with leafy vines, executed in a vibrant palette of green, lavender, and ochre glazes. The two large covered serving dishes (15.5″ × 10.5″) and the matching sauce boat with underplate (10.5″ × 5.5″) continue the asparagus motif, uniting whimsical charm with refined craftsmanship.
Complete asparagus services of this size and condition are exceptionally rare, as most were produced in smaller sets or survive only in fragments. With its bold decoration and vibrant glazes, this service reflects the mid-20th century revival of naturalistic tablewares in France, blending artistic imagination with practical elegance. Both highly collectible and functional, this ensemble is a remarkable survival of French majolica artistry.
