Antique German W&C Oyster Plate Blue White Scenic Shell Form 8.25" A731

This antique German oyster plate by W&C (Willets & Company) features a classic shell-form design with six scalloped oyster wells surrounding a circular center well. Each well is hand painted in blue and white with charming scenic motifs, including cottages, trees, and landscape elements, giving the plate a cohesive and traditional coastal character. The molded borders and softly ribbed rim enhance the dimensional quality of the form.

Measuring 8.25", the plate displays a bright glaze and crisp decoration. The underside bears the green W&C Germany mark. Condition is mint, with no chips, cracks, or repairs observed. A refined and collectible example of early German oyster service porcelain, well suited for display or a curated oyster plate collection.
