A delightful pair of vintage white ceramic plates, clearly marked "PORTUGAL" on the back, suggesting a heritage of high-quality Portuguese pottery, possibly in the Majolica or Palissy style.
Design: Each plate is distinctly shaped like a large scallop shell (or conch/mussel), featuring a ribbed, creamy white glaze. The central decoration consists of a cluster of three pink crustaceans (likely shrimp, prawns, or small lobsters) molded in high reliet, nestled amongst hand-painted green seaweed or foliage.
Dimensions: The plate is approximately 8 to 8.5 inches wide.Â
Condition: New, unused without tags or original box.Â
Use: Perfect for coastal or nautical-themed decor, serving shrimp cocktails, appetizers, decorative wall plates or as collector's pieces.
