Vintage Mid-Century Modern Lusterware Snack Plate (Sold Individually)

Add a touch of vintage glamour to your table or collection with this mid-century modern lusterware snack plate, also known as a tea and snack plate. Likely produced in the mid-20th century, this piece reflects the elegant design trends popular from the Art Deco era through the 1940s, when iridescent finishes and sculptural forms were highly sought after.

This plate features a vibrant, glossy luster glaze with an opalescent, color-shifting sheen that catches the light beautifully. The distinctive non-symmetrical teardrop or playing-card shape is both decorative and functional, incorporating a molded indentation designed to securely hold a teacup. This thoughtful design allowed guests to carry both a cup and a small snack in one hand, making it ideal for afternoon tea or social gatherings.

Similar lusterware snack plates were commonly produced in Czechoslovakia, Germany, and Japan. Today, these plates are highly collectible and appreciated for their timeless style and charming practicality.
