Description
An English majolica glazed leaf and basketweave cheese tray, attributed to Adams & Bromley, circa 1880.
A pattern beautifully glazed with a strong graphic presence, six leaves alternately colored in shades of green, have stems that meet in the center at a yellow ochre raised circle. The leaves sit on a brown basketweave ground with a yellow rim.
The verso is glazed in a watery yellow ochre, with a raised footing.
The leaf and basketweave motif has been traditionally associated with serving cheese.
10.5 inches in diameter x 1 inch High.
Unmarked.
Very good antique condition, nothing to detract.
