The exterior layer is masterfully acid-etched into the celebrated "Fuchsias" pattern, showcasing bold, stylized geometric floral motifs and sweeping linear stems in deep tortoiseshell-brown and rich plum hues. The foot is intricately decorated with a matching geometric, honeycomb-like pattern around the base edge.Key FeaturesImposing Exhibition Scale: Measuring an impressive 13 inches in diameter, this is a highly prized, large-scale cabinet piece.
