Offered for your personal collection is this beautiful blue color of antique Authentic French Limoges Turkey design oyster plate.
Well marked with the 1888-1896 makers mark and also with the factory decorated mark.
It features "a scattering of oysters and aquatic plant life around 5 wells. The overall clustering of the shells is reminiscent of the turkey native to the Americas" thus referenced as a Turkey or Turkey design oyster plate.
This one has brown and gold oyster shells which makes the turkey design, green and gold seaweed on a mottled blue and white background with a ruffled gold rim.
It is in excellent antique condition with no chips or cracks that I see, there looks to be a clear substance on one point of the gold on the rim which does not detract, see photo 12. Two spots on the back are missing glaze which seems to be normal on all of the real French Limoges Turkey oyster plates that I have seen.
It measures 8.75 inches in diameter.
This will look amazing in any room of your home!!
Add this to your private collection today or give as a fabulous antique gift!

Please see all of the photos to get best idea of overall condition.
