Royal Doulton “Watteau” large Crescent Salad Plate or Relish Platter
This elegant Royal Doulton Watteau crescent salad plate showcases the romantic 18th-century garden scene that defines this beloved pattern, inspired by the romantic paintings of French Rococo artist Antoine Watteau (1684–1721), who was known for his idyllic, pastoral scenes of courtly lovers, musicians, and garden landscapes.
A courting couple is pictured in a serene pastoral setting, evoking the grace and charm of the Rococo era.
The crescent form, designed to curve neatly alongside a dinner plate, was traditionally used in fine dining to serve salads, breads, or side accompaniments without crowding the main course. Today, it remains both a practical and decorative piece—adding a touch of refinement to any table setting.
