The faiencerie at Desvres is well known for a wide variety of stylized flower bouquets. This 15" by 11" platter features the basket design
known as "panier riche."

In true Desvres style the flowers are surrounded by intricately patterned motifs in a variety of colors. Desvres' location not far from the sea inspired the tiny sea shell indentations that open into wave-like flamboyant handles.

This interpretation of a traditional Desvres design was made by Geo Martel, 1900-1922. The platter rests on a narrow oval rim that has glazed holes for hanging. It is in pristine condition.
