Each piece features a rich cloisonné enamel decoration on an intense blue background, animated by an elegant scatter of stylized flowers and sinuous plant scrolls. The composition, both dynamic and harmonious, perfectly illustrates the naturalist inspiration characteristic of Art Nouveau.

The octagonal shape, outlined by a deep blue contour, highlights the finesse of the enamel work and the vividness of the colors, remarkably preserved. The ensemble offers great decorative coherence, ideal for a refined table setting or as a wall decorative element.

French workmanship, Longwy manufactory, first half of the 20th century.

Very good overall condition (tiny wear or minor firing defects possible, inherent to the technique and/or the age of the piece).

A decorative set of great charm, emblematic of the know-how of Longwy enamels, sought after by lovers of decorative arts.
