Portuguese Majolica Sunburst Relief Serving Dish
Authentic Portuguese Majolica Sunburst Relief Serving Dish. Bring a touch of classic European pottery history to your home with this authentic vintage Portuguese majolica serving tray. Featuring an intricate, high-relief sunburst motif framed by dramatic, flowing wing-shaped side handles, this beautiful cream-white earthenware piece effortlessly captures the timeless elegance of 19th-century styling. The underside is clearly stamped with its authentic crown and bell manufacturer marks, alongside the factory pattern/mould number 1585. Condition; Shabby Chic / Distressed Vintage This authentic piece is being sold "As-Is" with visible signs of historical love and usage. True to its age and the delicate nature of soft-paste majolica pottery, there are noticeable chips along the scalloped rim and on the scrolling wing handles. It also features gentle, age-appropriate glaze crazing across the surface. These imperfections do not take away from its structural display value, but rather add an authentic, weathered "shabby chic" rustic character perfect for open kitchen shelving or wall hanging displays.
