A stunning example of 19th century French craftsmanship, this majolica glazed oyster master server platter was produced by the renowned faïencerie of St. Clément, circa 1890s. Designed to both delight the eye and elevate the art of entertaining, the large round platter features ten white, scallop shell-shaped wells arranged around two central condiment wells, traditionally used for lemon wedges, mignonette sauce, or melted butter. The vibrant bluish-jade green basketweave background provides a striking contrast to the creamy oyster wells, while a band of molded brown ropework encircles both the rim and center, adding texture and nautical flair. The deeply glazed majolica finish captures light beautifully, enhancing the intricate detailing of the molded forms. *Individual oyster plates are not included and are sold separately.

 

Oyster plates and platters became a popular staple of upper-class dining tables in the mid to late 19th century, particularly during the Belle Époque, when oysters were considered a delicacy and social status symbol. In France, serving oysters on specialized plates was not just about presentation, it was a reflection of refinement and savoir-faire. Decorative and functional, majolica pieces like this one were designed to be chilled before serving to keep oysters cool and fresh. This exquisite oyster master server is ideal for collectors, entertaining enthusiasts, or anyone with a love for historic French ceramics. Whether displayed on a wall or used for a special occasion, it offers a perfect blend of artistry and function. 

 

The St. Clément faïence factory, founded in 1758 by Jacques Chambrette near Lunéville, quickly became one of France’s most respected ceramic producers. The factory was even appointed Royal Supplier to Marie Antoinette’s Trianon, a testament to the quality and elegance of its work. In 1892, the company was acquired by Keller and Guérin, owners of the famed Lunéville factory, and continued producing high-quality earthenware with rich glazes and intricate designs well into the 20th century.

Top notch mount with high build quality
I love it when I take a chance and spend some extra money hoping for a quality product - and it actually pans out. I bought this for my 2nd gen Toyota Tacoma (2014). The install was fast. Instructions were clear. The mount is ROCK solid and has two points of articulation so I can position my phone well. I couldn't ask for a better product. The price I paid was a little steep for a mount, but if you demand quality then look no further.

A must have for Kia Forte owners
For years, I’ve used phone mounts with adhesive stickers, but with the Florida heat, they would only last about a week. This car phone mount for my Kia has been a game changer—fantastic magnetic strength, super functional and a great value for the money! Super recommended.
