Some History:
The Sarreguemines Digoin majolica oyster plate reflects the artistry and craftsmanship of early to mid-20th-century France, showcasing the bold designs and unique glazing techniques that defined this era.
Produced in Sarreguemines, France, these plates became popular for their rich color contrasts, high-gloss finishes, and intricate molded textures—a hallmark of fine French faience and majolica.
Sarreguemines, established in 1790, merged with Digoin and Vitry-le-François in the early 20th century, leading to the Digoin-Sarreguemines brand. This era of production introduced refined color palettes, high-gloss glazes, and sculptural designs, making these pieces highly sought after by collectors, vintage kitchen enthusiasts, and interior designers.
This plate, stamped "Sarreguemines France DV," signifies its post-merger production and sets it apart from pre-1920s Sarreguemines pieces. Whether serving fresh oysters and champagne at an elegant dinner or displayed as a statement piece in a luxury coastal retreat, this plate embodies the rich legacy of French faience and its dedication to blending beauty with utility.
