Four Frogs Perched on a Majolica Art Pottery Plate
Hand Painted & Made in High Gloss Glaze and Dark Teal Green
Hallmarked (Unknown maker to me)
- This is another fun frog art pottery majolica plate I have up for auction this week...this plate seems old...four frogs all in different poses...one dipping his webbed footie into the glossy center of the plate...this glaze is so shiny it was impossible to photograph!! The color is a dark teal green...froggie green!
- Please take my photo gallery tour to evaluate the design, mold and artistic elements and condition issues important to you.
- In very good condition with wear to two spots (shown in photo close up...I suspect these wear marks to the glaze and painting is due to how it sat for a long time on a plate rack, as the marks match up to all the plate racks I have. There is a tiny chip to one froggies footie (shown in photo) and another glaze chip on the out side rim (where someone didn't put it back on it's rack properly). There is no restoration, scratches or signs of use. I am not certain about the provenance or age of this piece.
- This plate is made extremely well, these frogs are not applied but molded into the plate; it's very thick majolica with a very high gloss glaze. The minor issues really don't seem to effect the extreme pleasantness of looking at this plate...it's really beautiful and totally cool.
- Measures 10-1/2” across in diameter; the sides flare upwards to over 1" high.
- Weighs a hefty 1 pound 8 ounces unpacked.
