The olive decoration on porcelain plates from the early 19th century was very RARE. Olives reflected aesthetic, symbolic and cultural considerations. Inspired by the neoclassical style, it evoked the olive tree, an ancient symbol of peace, wisdom and victory. The olive also embodied fertility and prosperity, values prized in this period marked by political upheaval. The taste for naturalistic decorations, very fashionable, favored the use of simple and elegant motifs such as olives, which integrated perfectly with sophisticated tableware. The prestigious Manufacture like Dagoty used these motifs to seduce an aristocratic clientele, combining refinement and symbolism.
