About the Item

An exceptional and increasingly scarce set of French majolica oyster ware by the renowned pottery Moulin des Loups, Orchies, comprising 7 oyster plates and one large matching serving platter in a rich verdigris green glaze. Beautifully modeled with deeply molded oyster shell wells, each plate features six individual oyster compartments surrounding a central sauce well, while the large coordinating platter offers twelve oyster wells with additional central compartments for lemon wedges, mignonette, or cocktail sauce. The sculptural shell forms are highlighted by a luminous ombré glaze transitioning from cream to olive and deep moss green, creating remarkable depth and visual movement across each piece. Produced by the historic Moulin des Loups faience factory in Orchies, France, these oyster services embody the French tradition of seafood presentation and are highly sought after by collectors of majolica, French country, and coastal entertaining pieces. The dramatic verdigris palette feels equally at home in traditional European interiors, Palm Beach-inspired settings, and contemporary tablescapes. The reverse of each piece bears the green transfer mark featuring the iconic windmill and reads: "Orchies Moulin des Loups" "Décor Grand Feu" "Special Lavé Vaisselle" "Made in France" Today, complete French oyster services of this size are increasingly difficult to source, particularly with a matching serving platter. The set offers both decorative appeal and practical functionality, making it an ideal addition to a collector's cabinet, dining room, or entertaining collection. Condition: Very good vintage condition consistent with age and use. Glaze variation, minor surface wear, and manufacturing irregularities typical of French majolica production. Presents beautifully. Styling Ideas Create a dramatic seafood presentation for oysters, shrimp, and shellfish. Display vertically on open kitchen shelving for a classic French coastal aesthetic. Layer with antique silver, crystal stemware, and linen napkins for elevated entertaining. Incorporate into a majolica collection alongside cabbage ware, asparagus servers, and French faience. Use the large platter as a centerpiece filled with oysters on ice, citrus, and fresh herbs. Platter dimensions: 13" diameter .75" tall Plate dimensions: 9.75" diameter .75" tall
