Vintage French Salins Majolica Green and Yellow Oyster Plate 9.67in A897

This striking late-century oyster plate from the Salins-les-Bains pottery features a vibrant biomorphic design with six shell-form wells finished in a mottled sage green glaze. The central sauce reservoir provides a bold contrast in a rich sunflower yellow, creating a modernist color palette characteristic of 1950s French barbotine ware. The smooth, high-gloss glaze highlights the clean lines and organic curvature of the form, reflecting a transition from traditional realism toward mid-century decorative aesthetics. The underside is marked with the authentic Salins France star hallmark, signifying its origin in the Jura region.
