Joseph Holdcroft was one of the leading producers of Victorian majolica and this piece is a wonderful example of his celebrated nature-themed majolica. This lovely plate features a raised relief design of a majestic flying crane gliding through cherry blossoms, set against a vivid yellow stippled background. It displays beautifully, an outstanding piece for any serious majolica or 19th-century English pottery collection.
