Wholesale Antique footed compote – Pillivuyt Paris porcelain – bird decoration – late 19th century.

It takes only one glance to understand that this piece was not made for an ordinary sideboard. This Pillivuyt porcelain compote dish, from a house founded in the 19th century and renowned for the fineness of its French porcelain, evokes the elegant tables of yesteryear. On the rim, a delicate decoration of wildflowers and birds in flight enlivens the white surface, like a light scene placed at the center of the table. The plate rests on a slender, stable foot, typical of presentation pieces intended for desserts, fruit, or pastries at family meals or receptions. On the back appears the mark: C.H. Pillivuyt & Cie – Paris Médailles 1867 – 1878 Or. A marking used by the manufactory at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th, a period when these pieces accompanied refined table services. Even today, it retains that discreet charm: placed on a table, in a display cabinet, or at the center of a sideboard, it naturally draws the eye. Approx. dimensions: diameter 25 cm, height 13 cm
