Vintage Mid-Century French Porcelain Oval Tabletop Parterre

This elegant, mid-20th-century French porcelain centerpiece is designed as a miniature tabletop parterre, echoing the structured beauty of formal European gardens. The piece features a classic oval shape with a low, balustrade-style railing encircling the planting bed, punctuated by four raised corner posts topped with shallow cups—perfect for holding taper candles or small floral accents. Glazed in a glossy, creamy white, its clean lines and architectural detailing make it a versatile decorative vessel. The underside is marked with an incised circle and cross bar mark. Whether filled with moss, succulents, or seasonal blooms, this unique planter brings a touch of Neoclassical garden sophistication to any interior tablescape. Function perfectly as an entry way catchall and decorative tray and display.

VINTAGE & ANTIQUE
Vintage and antique items are pre-owned and aged goods. In most cases, we do not clean or polish any items that come into our shop. Once you remove an item's traces of age and patina it's not something you can reverse, so we leave those activities up to the buyer. We do not disassemble found art from their frames unless it is necessary to differentiate a print from an original piece of art. Vintage prints purchased from this shop could originate from any print media (e.g., magazines, books, photographs, art prints, etc.). We try our best to describe items accurately and disclose any and all flaws and imperfections. Please refer to pictures as a visual description. We want to make sure you are happy with your purchase so, please do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have prior to checkout.

SHIPPING
As much as possible, we utilize recycled shipping boxes. The box you receive your item in may show signs of wear and pre-use.

PHOTOGRAPHY
All photos are taken in natural light and we do not use any photo filters and do not perform and photo editing (other than basic photo cropping). Depending on your monitor settings, there may be subtle differences in color once you see your item in person.
