Antique Longchamp shallow dish with polychrome daisies in ironstone.

Magnificent and rare large shallow dish made of ironstone from the Longchamp factory, model "Daisies" in an Art Nouveau style, dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, circa 1890-1910. It features a beautiful naturalistic floral decoration of large daisies, cornflowers, grasses, and foliage printed in sepia, then delicately enhanced by hand with shades of yellow, blue, green, and brown. The slightly lobed rim is highlighted with a fine double raspberry and black border. 29cm in diameter and 4cm in height. Very good overall condition for its age, with only a few very light and discreet traces of cutlery on the bottom and a tiny chip in the glaze on the rim, which is barely visible. Weighs approximately 700g.
