An elegant central asparagus serving dish in barbotine (majolica) by Salins-les-Bains Faience, France, late 19th–early 20th century. Created during a time when asparagus was a refined delicacy with dedicated tableware, this piece reflects the sophistication of the Belle Époque dining tradition. It features a vibrant, naturalistic relief with richly glazed details, often complemented by a basketweave-style border. The form is both decorative and functional, designed to present asparagus and serve accompanying sauces. In very good antique condition, with one light missing. A charming and collectible example of French majolica, combining artistry, history, and elegant table culture. Height — 8 cm Width — 20 cm Length — 35 cm
