Unmarked, circa late 19th C., or possibly earlier, likely Portuguese or French. Very nice antique condition, though there are a few glaze chips around the edge of the basket rim, and what appears to be a broken ornamental piece down within the basket well. Please see pictures for details.

Would complement cabbageware and lettuceware pieces such as Dodie Thayer beautifully.

See my other "Home Lab" shop listings for 2 additional miniature majolica pieces from the same estate collection. Combined shipping can be arranged through Chairish Support if you purchase more than one piece. See less
