Asparagus plate

Round porcelain plate in the shape of a shell, bipartite, with a round bowl (in the shell cut). It has a painted chrome-green background, brighter on the well. On the edge, it is adorned with a plastically modelled gilded decoration: an arched plant stem partially overlapping the well and three asparagus spears; the lip of the plate is slightly jagged and gilded in a pattern of water waves. The plate was made in the French porcelain factory Haviland & Co. in Limoges, established in 1864 by David Haviland. It was the largest porcelain factory in Limoges and mainly produced porcelain tableware. This plate is one of twenty-five identical asparagus plates in the Łańcut museum, left by the former owners of the Potockis' castle.
