Antique Majolica Vine Leaf Pedestal Dish

An antique majolica pedestal dish moulded with overlapping vine leaves and tendrils beneath a rich turquoise-green glaze.

Raised on a low foot, it was probably intended as a small comport or serving dish. The maker is unknown, but its construction and glaze suggest a late 19th- or early 20th-century date.

Dimensions: 6 cm high × 16 cm diameter.

Condition: Distressed antique condition, with several chips and areas of glaze loss around the rim and pedestal foot. There is also general crazing, surface wear and age-related marking. The damage is reflected in the price.
