A stunning example of 19th century French craftsmanship, this majolica glazed oyster master server platter was produced by the renowned faïencerie of St. Clément, circa 1890s. Designed to both delight the eye and elevate the art of entertaining, the large round platter features ten white, scallop shell-shaped wells arranged around two central condiment wells, traditionally used for lemon wedges, mignonette sauce, or melted butter. The vibrant bluish-jade green basketweave background provides a striking contrast to the creamy oyster wells, while a band of molded brown ropework encircles both the rim and center, adding texture and nautical flair. The deeply glazed majolica finish captures light beautifully, enhancing the intricate detailing of the molded forms. *Individual oyster plates are not included and are sold separately.

 

Oyster plates and platters became a popular staple of upper-class dining tables in the mid to late 19th century, particularly during the Belle Époque, when oysters were considered a delicacy and social status symbol. In France, serving oysters on specialized plates was not just about presentation, it was a reflection of refinement and savoir-faire. Decorative and functional, majolica pieces like this one were designed to be chilled before serving to keep oysters cool and fresh. This exquisite oyster master server is ideal for collectors, entertaining enthusiasts, or anyone with a love for historic French ceramics. Whether displayed on a wall or used for a special occasion, it offers a perfect blend of artistry and function. 

 

The St. Clément faïence factory, founded in 1758 by Jacques Chambrette near Lunéville, quickly became one of France’s most respected ceramic producers. The factory was even appointed Royal Supplier to Marie Antoinette’s Trianon, a testament to the quality and elegance of its work. In 1892, the company was acquired by Keller and Guérin, owners of the famed Lunéville factory, and continued producing high-quality earthenware with rich glazes and intricate designs well into the 20th century.

Not a nasal spray put in temples
This is NOT a typical Nose Spray. I did a search for nose spray. I read the description. I read the reviews. It arrived quickly. I sprayed into my nose. For 10 minutes this stronger than vicks Nasal Spray burned my sinus, throat and eyes. But no congestion the rest of the day. Bought some for a friend. Good thing he read the box. PUT on temples.

Best sinus spray!!
This sinus congested spray is amazing!!! It opens up my sinuses, it smells amazing and it helps me get a great night sleep! I highly recommend it. I had to buy one for my fiancé because he wanted to steal mine. 😆😆 Ohh and don't put it close to your eyes because it will sting, because it is very strong.

Holy watery eyes!
Allergies and sinus infections etc beware!! This stuff is liquid gold!!! Careful on small or sensitive eyes/noses...it is quite strong and makes my eyes water...WELL WORTH IT! And honestly, I love the smell. I hate Vicks petroleum crap. I'll stick with this. *my 6 year old says it feels weird, so I spray it on a cloth and put it near his bed. He loves the smell.
