This piece is very old but shows very little signs of wear for its age. This trompe l'oeil ceramic dish is in the shape of a large cauliflower in green and white. The lid or the top shows the vegetable lying on its side with tight white florets and ribbed leaves painted in shades of green. A small notch at one end is for resting the matching white ceramic ladle. The base mimics the lid and is also in the same green and white hue. The piece is quite large and would make for a fantastic addition to any lettuce ware or cabbageware collection. Or, it could be used to serve soup. It would also be great on its own on a credenza or dining table.
