AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful Longwy enamel table mat or centerpiece, bearing a stamp dating from the late 19th century, one of the oldest pieces from this famous manufactory. A very Japanese-inspired ensemble featuring cherry blossoms and the 'Houou' (phoenix) symbol, which resembles a peacock and embodies the cycle of life, rebirth, immortality, and triumph. The phoenix paired with the dragon represents the imperial couple. This table mat is in excellent condition. Shipping only within Europe; no international shipping.
