What could be more environmentally correct than this leaf & fern patterned cheese keeper made c1885 in France by the famed pottery Co. of Villeroy & Boch. Think green! It is part of a large series of Victorian Majolica made by this firm. Please see the photo where I have placed it on 2 respected Majolica reference books. The conditions is excellent but there are a few minor issues one being a small area of restoration to a fern leaf on the bell's top and a corresponding one on its underside. There is crazing to the center of the underplate as well as a 3" hairline and 3 nicks to its rim. That's it. Quite inconsequential when it comes to Majolica of this age. Ultra shiny unblemished glaze!! It looks fantastic & displays well. 8" high (total) 7" high (dome) x 10.75" wide (underplate) 8" wide (dome)......To view MORE FINE MAJOLICA I have listed, just click on the "VIEW THIS DEALER'S OTHER ITEMS" button on the left, then type MAJOLICA into the search box....Canadians will pay applicable taxes......
