Antique French Faïence Pear Plates by K & G Lunéville (Obert) | 8½” Fruit Plates, c. 1890–1900

These beautiful antique French faïence fruit plates were produced by Keller & Guérin Lunéville, commonly known as K & G Lunéville, and date to the late 19th–early 20th century (circa 1890–1900). Each plate is hand painted and signed “Obert”, the artist responsible for many of Lunéville’s most desirable fruit studies.

All plates measure approximately 8½ inches in diameter and feature luscious pears rendered in rich, painterly tones, set against softly shaded backgrounds. The compositions vary by colorway, making each example unique while remaining cohesive as a collectible grouping. Each plate has two holes on the reverse, allowing for easy wall display.

These plates are equally stunning displayed individually, grouped by fruit, or arranged as part of a larger K & G Lunéville fruit wall—a timeless and highly collectible decorating style. Sold individually. Please select your preferred variant.
