About the Item

This large French majolica centerpiece, hand-painted and featuring three putti carrying a platter, is an exceptional piece from the 19th century, in the style of Palissy, Minton, and Royal Dux. Likely originating from France or Italy, this remarkable work is unsigned, but its quality speaks for itself. Three putti, or cherubs, are beautifully sculpted and carry a platter. Their features are delicately and finely worked, demonstrating exceptional artisanal craftsmanship. At the feet of the putti, charming green frogs add a touch of whimsy and nature. The whole piece is adorned with clusters of grapes and vine leaves, symbols of fertility and wealth. This platter can hold a bowl, a cachepot, or a jardinière, thus enhancing the overall appearance thanks to the height provided by the putti. Materials: The work is made of glazed terracotta, a material prized for its durability and refined aesthetic. Dimensions: Height: 16.5 inches (42 cm) Diameter of the platter: 13.8 inches (35 cm) Dimensions of the base: 11 inches x 9.4 inches (28 cm x 24 cm) Condition: It should be noted that the piece has undergone restorations at the base and has a crack on the platter. However, these imperfections do not detract from the beauty and rarity of this piece. This piece is a magnificent example of 19th-century French majolica work, in the style of Palissy, Minton, and Royal Dux. Its combination of functionality and ornamentation makes it both practical and decorative, capable of adding a touch of elegance and refinement to any interior. Despite the restorations and the crack, it remains a rare and precious piece for collectors and art enthusiasts.
