Vintage pie dish in earthenware with handles – Japanese floral pattern

Charming vintage pie dish (or stand) in earthenware, characterised by its elegantly scalloped edge and two small integrated handles. It features a beautiful printed decor in a Japonese style depicting flowering branches in a fresh and spring-like colour palette: Saxon blue, violet, orange, and yellow, highlighted by a fine green border around the edge. The dish bears engraved numbers in the mass under one handle ("6526") as well as a handwritten signature painted on the base ("3637 / 1894"), testifying to its ancient artisanal manufacture. Overall, it is in beautiful aesthetic condition. The decor is very well preserved and has retained all its freshness. Note some signs of time that add to its charm: slight and discreet chips on the scalloped edge and underneath, with no impact on the piece's solidity or charm. Perfect for adding a poetic, bohemian, and retro touch to your festive tables or Sunday teas!.
