1940s French Sarreguemines Majolica Asparagus Serving Set

This is peak French optimism — when even vegetables were given their own proper service.

Made by Sarreguemines in the early 20th century, this vibrant green majolica set includes six individual plates, a matching serving platter, and butter dish, each molded with sculpted channels designed to cradle asparagus. The rich glaze and sculptural form turn something simple into an event.

Of course, it doesn’t stop at asparagus. These plates are brilliant for chilled shrimp, olives, corn on the cob, roasted carrots, breadsticks, crudités, or even pastries. The platter anchors a seafood spread beautifully, while the butter dish works just as well for sea salt, aioli, or compound butter. It’s the kind of set that makes the table feel intentional — layered, collected, and unmistakably French.
