About the Item

From France, an Asparagus and Artichoke Server with a drainer insert, marked Salins, circa 1910 – 1940. A nice white, rectangular platter, likely made under the direction of Edouard Charbonnier in the Art Nouveau style. Bordered in a pattern of pink Chrysanthemums with green leaves, and a globe artichoke in one corner. There is a fitted drainer cover showing a bed of asparagus, with a finger hole for lifting. The cooked asparagus would drain into the well below. The platter is molded in one piece and sits on a raised rear footing. Salins was a major French earthenware producer in Salins-les-Bains, Lorraine, near the border with Switzerland. Once the site of an old Capuchin convent, it was converted to a faience pottery in 1857. Salins was awarded a silver medal at the Paris Universal Expositon in 1889 and a gold medal at the Paris International Exhibition of Decorative Arts in 1912. Most of Salins majolica production consisted of artichoke and asparagus plates, platters and cradles.
