Early 20th century French faience asparagus platter featuring hand-painted floral decoration in lively green, blue, and orange tones. Marked 'fait main' to the reverse, denoting hand-painted craftsmanship. The molded interior includes raised slots for serving asparagus, a flat area on one end to seat an artichoke, and a lower well designed to hold melted butter. A charming and practical example of classic French tableware.
