Description :

Set of two vintage Palissy majolica plates from Caldas, Portugal. Ceramic crab and lobster plates are in the Palissy "Barbotine" style. Purchased by our client in Portugal in the 1990s at a flea market from a vendor who specialized in antique and vintage Palissy Ware. They measure 7.5" in diameter.

Palissy Barbotine refers to a style of majolica pottery inspired by the work of Bernard Palissy, a 16th-century French potter and naturalist. It's characterized by detailed 3-D colorful decoration, often featuring natural elements like fish, reptiles, shells, and plants, typically with a majolica (tin-glazed) finish. The term "Barbotine" specifically relates to the technique of applying a slip (a mixture of clay and water) to create these raised, textured surfaces.
