This antique U&C Sarreguemines "Royat” serving plate is a beautiful example of classic French blue transferware. Produced by Utzschneider & Cie (U&C) Sarreguemines, France, the piece features graceful floral motifs framed by an intricate lattice border, all printed in rich cobalt blue against a warm ivory ground.
Its gently raised form makes it wonderfully versatile—perfect as a serving dish, centerpiece, or decorative display piece. The timeless combination of elegant transferware, soft antique crazing, and refined French craftsmanship makes this a piece that feels equally at home in a French country kitchen, cottage dining room, or collected European interior.
