When "Les Arts de la Table" (Beautiful table settings) were a very competitive occupation for French ladies in society (maybe until the 1960s...), salad was served between the meat course and the compulsory cheese dish, on the side of the main plate so as not to rush diners. It was tfore served on the left in moon-shaped plates as those took less space. are two very nice dishes which obviously were "asssiettes à salade" in another life but which have to find another use as dinners have become shorter and less extravagant, for most of us at least. They are extremely attractive as hors d'oeuvres dishes, which is how I use mine. They are clear and frosted glass dishes with a thistle motif previously encountered in the work of René Lalique (1860-1945). These are more recent, from the 1950s, as indicated by the modern signature etched in script "Lalique France". René's son, Marc, was then both the company's manager and its chief designer. Lalique altogether stopped making this type of plates in the 1960s. The dimensions are 9" x 6.5" and the condition is perfect.
