Vintage Majolica Asparagus Bundle Serving Platters – Hand-Painted Ceramic Set of Two, Mid-Century European Style

A delightful example of mid-century craftsmanship, this set of two vintage majolica asparagus serving platters brings whimsical charm and sophisticated artistry to the dining table. Each platter is meticulously hand-painted and modeled in high relief, depicting a bundle of asparagus stalks tied with golden-yellow cords—an iconic motif often seen in French and Italian majolica pottery from the 1950s to 1970s. The lifelike detailing of the green spears fading into creamy white stalks creates a fresh and elegant aesthetic, perfect for spring or garden-themed entertaining.

The glossy glaze enhances both the depth of color and the naturalistic texture, while subtle hand-painted accents in earthy tones add warmth and authenticity. These platters serve beautifully for displaying vegetables, appetizers, cheeses, or desserts, but they are equally captivating as decorative wall pieces or sideboard displays. Their handcrafted nature ensures each one carries its own unique personality, a hallmark of artisanal majolica ware.

In excellent vintage condition with minimal wear consistent with age, this pair exemplifies timeless European country style—a perfect blend of utility and artful design. Whether added to a collection or showcased as a conversation piece, these asparagus platters evoke rustic charm and an enduring appreciation for hand-painted ceramics.
