A beautiful antique French ravier plate by K & G Lunéville, featuring the Lierre Écusson pattern in a striking red transferware design. This elegant oval dish, adorned with an intricate ivy and escutcheon motif along the rim, is a fine example of 19th-century French faïence.
Originally designed as a "ravier"—a small serving dish for hors d’oeuvres, pickles, or condiments— this piece would have been part of a refined French table setting. Today, it remains just as functional and decorative, perfect for use as a serving dish, trinket tray, or display piece.
