The alert animal is modeled with textured fur and holds a clover, creating a small but expressive decorative accent. The bronze has developed a rich patina in deep brown and gentle verdigris tones, bringing depth to the details. The source describes the piece as late 19th century, and the underside bears a B&H mark and the number 1835.

Compact in scale, the dish can add a touch of whimsy to a desk, console or display shelf. Its sculptural form makes it an engaging object to enjoy on its own, while its shallow dish shape offers a place for small everyday items. The dark bronze finish sits comfortably among books, natural materials and other collected objects. The modeled rabbit and clover reward a closer look, and the subtle variations in the patina add to the character of the piece.

The dish measures 5.5 inches wide, 4.25 inches deep and 1 inch high. It is in good vintage condition with natural patina consistent with age, minor surface scratches and some wear, particularly around the edges. The piece remains solid, with no significant damage or structural issues noted, and retains its original elements. The marking on the underside is described as found and is not presented here as a verified date of manufacture. See less
