Presentation Platter – Italian Renaissance – Manufacture Raynaud – Limoges, Early 21st Century

Large round Limoges porcelain platter by Manufacture Raynaud, from the Italian Renaissance collection, designed by Lincrusta.

Measuring 32 cm in diameter, this platter features botanical decoration entirely sculpted and engraved into the porcelain. The richly detailed pattern combines foliage, flowers, clusters of fruit, arabesques and scrollwork in a composition inspired by Italian Renaissance ornamentation.

The Italian Renaissance collection draws on an iconic pattern by Lincrusta, a British company specialising in embossed wallcoverings since 1877. Raynaud transposed this design onto fine white porcelain, using particularly meticulous handwork on plaster in its modelling workshops to sculpt and engrave the motif.

The intricate relief creates a subtle interplay of light and shadow across the white surface, giving this piece a distinctly sculptural and decorative presence.
