A pop of color!
Charming Early 20th Century Porcelain Centerpiece in a sensational shade of Mediterranean mustard yellow.
Single pedestal, with several layers of detailing on the top and underside.
11.25" diameter, 4" tall.
Reticulated border design - 83 openings around the perimeter with intricate handwork.
Signed "291" - presents as French or Italian - either way, it is beautifully crafted and in excellent condition.
In keeping with Aesop's fable, Fox and Crow's Motto is "Beware of False Flattery!" So, with each listing we offer a true confession about the item...
Two words - quality and color!
This is a beautiful design - eternally elegant, as a good friend likes to say - and the bold yellow tone just makes it jump off the table. We have used this as a serving piece with a table of other fine patterns, with antique and more contemporary.
Perhaps most interesting, we've never seen another one...
