A refined antique French porcelain bone dish by F. Dommartin of Paris, dating to the late 19th century. This elegant crescent-shaped dish was designed to sit beside an individual place setting and hold discarded fish or poultry bones during formal dining. Known in French as an assiette à os, bone dishes were a distinctive feature of sophisticated 19th-century table services. This example is especially attractive, with a softly scalloped outline, fine gold gilt edging, and a large ornate intertwined gilt monogram at the upper center. The monogram indicates that the dish was likely commissioned as part of a personalized table service for a private household or estate. The reverse bears the red F. DOMMARTIN PARIS maker/retailer mark. At approximately 25 cm / 9.8 inches wide, this is a substantial example and displays beautifully on its own or as part of a collection of antique French tableware. Details Maker / Retailer: F.
