French Longchamp Terre de Fer Artichoke Service w/ Rare Platter

A rare and complete French majolica service by Longchamp, including a hard-to-find large platter and six matching plates, each molded with artichoke centers, scalloped rims, and vivid green-and-cream glazes touched with plum. The generously sized platter (14.5"L x 11"W) is especially scarce and seldom found intact with a matching set — making this service a true collector’s prize.

The platter anchors the set as an elegant centerpiece for serving or display, while the six matching plates lend themselves to salads, hors d’oeuvres, or artful wall arrangement. Together, the service captures the whimsy and refinement of late-19th century French faience, the sort of ensemble one might imagine gracing a Riviera luncheon hosted by Princess Margaret herself.

Available alongside our separate listing of four Longchamp artichoke plates. Please message us if you’d like to combine sets — we’re happy to extend combined special pricing.
