A charming set of four majolica plates featuring two swallow birds in flight on each plate. The glaze palette is a soft, pale blue with warm brown trim—an airy, pastoral colorway that highlights the raised detailing of the birds and foliage.
Two of the plates carry an impressed 259 mold number, a marking style consistent with early 20th‑century European majolica workshops that used numeric molds rather than full factory stamps. The modeling, glaze palette, and motif align with continental production from this period.
A sweet, cohesive set with strong decorative appeal and collectible charm.
