Deeply relief-molded with an oversized central grape leaf surrounded by clusters of grapes, strawberries, blossoms, foliage and scrolling vine tendrils, the entire plate is finished in a wonderfully saturated emerald green glaze that pools beautifully within the dimensional decoration. The softly scalloped rim adds another layer of movement to this exceptionally decorative piece. Dating to approximately the 1890s, this is an unmarked English example of a celebrated period majolica design originally produced by Wedgwood.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCONDITION\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBeautiful antique condition with age-appropriate characteristics consistent with 19th-century glazed earthenware. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSIZE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eApproximately 9\" diameter.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePROVENANCE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEngland, late 19th century, circa 1890–1895.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMAKER\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnmarked.
