ANTIQUE VICTORIAN MAJOLICA SARDINE DISH VICTORIA POTTERY COMPANY VPC
Description
Presenting a beautiful Antique Victorian Majolica Sardine lidded dish made by the Victoria Pottery Company of England.
This beautiful piece of Majolica features a wonderful design. To the base features a basket weave which continues up the sides of the dish. Upon the basket weave scattered elongated leaves appear creating visual stops in the weave pattern.
The top and base rim are bordered in a branch like design with a stunning green majolica. The top lid being a focal point does not dissapoint and features Sardine fish laying on leaves and lily pads. The Sardines are glazed in a light shade of grey and contrast beautifully with the differing shades of green Majolica underneath.
Sardine dishes were made out of various materials as in these times they were quite expansive to buy due to periods of small numbers and were regarded as a delicacy. As such these little fish had their own special dishes specifically made for those who could afford them.
The base is impressed with the VPC mark as pictured.
The Victoria Pottery Company was only in production from 1882-1889. As such pieces are scarce and sought after.
This would make a wonderful addition to any Majolica collecton!!!
DIMENSIONS
This dish measures 20.5cm in length, 18.5cm in width and stands 10.5cm tall.
CONDITION
Presented in great Antique condition.
There is a small corner to the top dish rim which has been glued back on. This is extremely clean however and can barely be noticed as it more to the rolled underside. There are parts to the leaves on the lid where it appears the glaze has not taken or has come away with age. Thankfully these parts could be reglazed if one wished as they are whole.
There are also two shallow chips to two of the leaves on the lid. One looks very old and I am unsure whether this is a manufacturing fault as the glaze seems to stop in parts before the chip. The other is small and looks to be newer as it is brighter in appearance. These faults are very common on Majolica pieces and thankfully these are very superficial and could be easily fixed if one wished. There is also age related crazing consistent with age and use.
I have mentioned all of this in the aim of complete accuracy.
It truly displays amazingly!!!
