Description

A vibrant and exquisitely detailed piece of Victorian ceramic art, this antique footed compote is a stunning example of the work of English pottery, Smith & Hill. The exterior is masterfully molded with a frieze of colorful daisies in yellow, white, and cobalt blue against a verdant green ground. A delightful surprise awaits inside, with a rich, lustrous lilac-pink glaze that provides a beautiful contrast. The scalloped rim and decorated foot complete this charming example of the Aesthetic Movement's love for naturalistic forms. Perfect as a striking centerpiece, for serving fruit or sweets, or simply as a magnificent decorative object, this compote brings history and artistry to any collection. It measures 9 inches in diameter and stands 5.25 inches high. The piece is in excellent antique condition, showcasing the fine, all-over crazing that is desirable and characteristic of its majolica glaze, speaking to its century-old history. A true collector's piece, this compote is ready to be cherished.
