Delicate, fragrant, and full of symbolism, the Lily of the Valley (Muguet) is here transformed into a visual symphony. Grasset stylizes its arched stem and tiny bell-shaped flowers into graceful lines and lace-like patterns. The ornamental application evokes lacework, jewelry, or soft wallpaper motifs.
Traditionally a symbol of renewal, modesty, and happiness, this plate is among the most romantic and lyrical in the series — ideal for intimate spaces or symbolic gifting.
