Antique compote dish Faïencerie de Lyon Marine, ironstone with blue-green decoration, 19th century.

This charming antique compote stamped FL for Faïencerie de Lyon is appealing with its marine decoration printed in a delicate bluish green. Around the central basin, fine floral cartouches unfold, punctuated by coastal landscapes, sailing boats, and small architectures, in this romantic style typical of fine earthenware from the late 19th century. The ivory patina of the background, slightly nuanced by time, gives it a soft and authentic presence. With its elegant shape on a small foot, it can hold fruits, sweets, jewellery, or simply stand alone as a characterful centrepiece. The piece is in very good overall condition with only two tiny discreet chips on the edge and underneath, which do not affect its charm. Diameter: 21 cm. Height: 6 cm. Weight: 483 g. Material: ironstone. Manufacture: Faïencerie de Lyon. Decoration: bluish green marine. Period: late 19th century. Condition: very good condition with micro chips.
