The cross is set against a creamy ivory ground and framed by molded, high-relief botanical motifs—green leaves and wheat-like detailing—along the sides. The glossy glaze enhances the dimensional texture and gives the piece a rich, luminous finish typical of late 19th to early 20th century majolica ceramics.

The back is plain with a simple circular foot ring and no visible maker’s mark, suggesting it may have been part of a decorative or devotional set. The overall design has a serene, ecclesiastical feel with strong Art Nouveau influence in the flowing foliage. See less
