This antique papier mache dish is hand decorated, from the detailed floral design in the base of the dish to the pretty gilt detailing around the rim. The green scalloped edging is in a free, organic style and the glaze is gently crazed with a lovely patina. The articulated handle is gilded and is in a criss-cross style and features a leaf with berries at the top. A super one-off decorative piece
Dimensions: height to top of handle 17cm, height to rim of dish 5cm, diameter of dish 24cm. Believed to originate from Italy. Side profile of dish shown in group product image on the left.
