FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION

WE OFFER THIS LOVELY MAJOLICA POTTERY TUREEN AND PLATTER. THERE IS, ON THE BASE OF THE PLATTER, AN INCISED MADE ITALY ALONG WITH SOME NUMBERS OFF TO THE SIDE.

THIS SET IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS.THE MAIN COLOR IS WHITE--NOT A PAPER WHITE. IT'S A SOFT WHITE, LEANING TOWARDS CREAM. THE GREEN IS ALSO A SOFT COLOR WHICH MAKES THE YELLOW FLOWERS STAND OUT NICELY. THERE ARE RAISED DESIGNS ON THE BORDERS AND AROUND THE CENTER OF THE TUREEN.

THE TUREEN HAS A SWEET FINIAL TOP AND THE HANDLES ARE LEAVES.

ONE ODD FEATURE ON THE LID IS THE CUTOUT FOR THE LADLE (WHICH WE DON'T HAVE). IT IS NOT CUT EVENLY. SO, I BELIEVE THE MAKERS DECIDED TO LEAVE IT LIKE THAT, RATHER THAN TAKING THE RISK OF DOING DAMAGE. IF YOU MAGNIFY THE PICTURES WHICH INCLUDE THE LID, YOU WILL SEE THAT THE GLAZE IS INTACT INSIDE OF THE OPENING. IT TOOK 3 OF US A FEW DAYS TO EVEN NOTICE THIS.

THE CONDITION IS VERY NICE. THERE ARE NO CHIPS OR CRACKS. HOWEVER, THERE IS CRAZING.

THE PLATTER IS JUST UNDER 10" IN DIAMETER. THE TUREEN WITH LID ON, STANDS 6 1/2". FROM HANDLE TO HANDLE IT IS 10 1/4".

THIS IS A BEAUTY---HAPPY BIDDING!
