Charming vintage Williams-Sonoma ceramic kitchen spoon rest or decorative accent dish. Made in Italy (stamped/incised model number 6273). Features a beautiful, sculptural embossed design shaped like a blooming artichoke with hand-painted shades of garden green and soft pinkish-purple highlights. 

Condition Note (PLEASE READ): This item is being sold strictly "AS-IS" for display, collection, or repair. It has a structural hairline crack running from the foot ring out to the edge on the bottom side (see close-up photo). It holds its shape perfectly and displays beautifully on a countertop shelf, but is no longer recommended for active hot kitchen spoon use due to the fracture. 

Measurements: 8" Long x 3" Wide
