Here is a stunning relish server/bowl of Italian Majolica pottery, glazed in cream color with painted flowers in yellow, mauve, blue, and green. The border is painted mauve, and there is a ring handle at the center that is brown. On either side of the handle are 3-D flowers in blue, mauve, purple, and orange. There are also faint painted blue lines throughout the bowl that look like crazing but are not. There actually is a bit of crazing, but these blue lines are painted. The outside of the bowl is decorated with splashes of mauve. The rim of the bowl is irregular and appears to be shaped by hand, with various juts and bumps forming an unusual shape. It is definitely one of a kind! It is marked with the word "Italy" in green paint on the bottom, and it has a dry ring foot.
This bowl measures 6 inches in diameter and 1.75 inches deep. As mentioned above, there is some crazing, not a lot. There are also two small glaze chips at the rim where just the layer of glaze has chipped off; these are at the top edge of the rim and the larger one is about the size of a flea. On the underside, near the base there is what appears to be a manufacturing flaw where the glaze has been scraped so there is a tiny wedge with no glaze, and a pile of glaze right next to it. Aside from these small flaws, this bowl is gorgeous with no chips or cracks. It would be lovely for holding jewelry on the vanity, or just for displaying on its own.
This is a sale item. Original price was $50.00.
Thanks for looking!
ABOUT VINTAGE ITEMS
PLEASE READ DESCRIPTIONS CAREFULLY AND VIEW ALL THE PHOTOS. Most of the vintage items in my shop are pre-loved; therefore, I do not know what type of environment they came from. I clean items when possible and appropriate, and describe them as accurately as I can, noting any flaws that I see. If you have specific questions, please feel free to send me a convo. All vintage items are sold “AS IS.”
If you are not satisfied with your purchase, please contact me immediately for a resolution prior to leaving feedback. I will work with you to resolve the issue.
SHIPPING
I use Etsy’s calculated shipping option, so shipping will automatically calculate for your location when you check out. I will wrap your purchases with loving care and generally ship them out the next business day unless there is a blizzard or other disaster. I do recycle shipping materials to save cost and the environment. Don’t be surprised to find paper towel tubes, empty (washed) food containers, and the like inside your recycled box. These are nearly weightless and take up space, making them great packing materials.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
Due to the high cost and multiple items being lost in transit, I have made the decision to not ship outside the USA. If you really want an item and are willing to take the risk, please message me.
