Antique French Majolica Asparagus Dish

Antique French Majolica Asparagus Dish — Salins Jura

Measures approx: 

A richly detailed French majolica asparagus dish by Salins Jura, featuring raised asparagus spears, an artichoke, and soft pink chrysanthemums around the border. Classic hand-painted majolica glazes in celadon green, rose, and cream. Includes the original removable draining insert. Beautiful overall staining throughout the base — the kind of authentic patina that makes these pieces especially sought after. One small hairline on the rim, stable and unobtrusive.

A standout decorative piece for open shelving or a spring tablescape. The colors and relief work make it just as lovely styled upright as used functionally for serving seasonal vegetables, pastries, or fruit.

Produced in eastern France at the Salins-les-Bains faïencerie, a region known for its vibrant majolica in the late 19th and early 20th century. These asparagus servers were once a dining-table essential for presenting a prized ingredient, and today they’re beloved by collectors for their charm, utility, and unmistakably French character.
