Width: 22.5cm
This striking antique majolica plate features a proud pheasant in rich hand-painted glazes, standing against a soft forest backdrop in tonal green and cream.
The detailed raised relief design showcases the bird in full plumage, finished in deep crimson, cobalt blue, and golden ochre.
The scalloped edge adds a refined touch to the organic form of the piece.
The plate bears a Continental-style impressed backstamp and features an all-over craquelure glaze, indicative of its age and authenticity.
Likely of French or German origin and dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, this piece was designed for both beauty and practical display.
An excellent addition for collectors of figural ceramics, country-style decor, or period majolica.
