Featured Sarreguemines oyster plates

Slurp. I've never tried an oyster and never intend to. I picked this pair of plates up today. Can anyone tell me if they're genuine, given my track record of buying fake tat. I did by a third but noticed that it has a large crack rim to rim and I'm too embarrassed to show it.

 

Here’s another on EBay. Not tat. Made mistakes myself this week, bought 3 silver rings and failed to notice the wear and copper underneath.

 

I love good Majolica.Was it you Chinois who alerted me to 'Sarreguemines' ? Love the repeated 'fractal' like quality of the shell pattern.

 

I mentioned it in a previous thread regarding French pottery two or three weeks ago.

 

...and you mentioned that little area in France where it came from.Europe's so small-we took the TGV frm London thru the chunnel to the Hague in 5-6 hrs.You could hit the French Brocantes & be back in London Sunday night !

 

As if 6 oysters were enough! Sheesh...

 

Six raw oysters? Six too many!

 

I'm not sure. I think someone else might be responsible for that.

 

You can buy both plates if you like them that much. I will even throw in the broken one for free. I think you can actually slap one in the middle too so that will be 21 in all. D'accord?

 

As whittier said, why only have 6!I love them anyway i can get them including raw. I sold one of my Luneville stratsbourg rose oyster plates for $90. I had 12. Sold the rest at lower than that price. Went to the east coast. I imagine people on the coast collect them.
