Description

Oval majolica plate with pierced rim. Item 2652.This attractive oval majolica plate is decorated with a moulded decoration of overlapping vine leaves on a stippled ground. The piercings in the basketweave rim were done by hand when the clay was in its leather hard stage before firing. The length is 315 mm (12.5 inches), the width 245 mm (9.5 inches) and it stands 32 mm (1.25 inches) high. The condition is very good apart from the obvious spots on the front where the glaze hasn’t taken and some grit from the kiln has settled on the wet glaze. It is possibly by Wedgwood and it would date from around 1880.
