This exquisite cloisonné-style enamel dish is a fine example of the craftsmanship from Émaux de Longwy, France. Featuring the coat of arms of the historic city of Metz, the dish is richly decorated with a vivid floral motif in deep blues, reds, and greens surrounding the central crest. The use of crackled glaze (craquelure) and hand-painted enamel work gives it a distinct and vibrant character, typical of Longwy’s famous ceramic tradition.
