Offered for your private collection is this magnificent antique piece of Palissy ware made by the prestigious majolica factory of Hyppolyte Hautin and Louis Boulenger of Choisy-le-Roi, France.
The makersmark dates this piece to have been made between 1836 and 1890, however, due to the war of 1870 most of the factory was destroyed and was rebuilt in 1878 so it was made either between 1836-1870 or 1878 or 1890.
This three lobed platter or tray features a large lobster who is getting ready to devoure the fish it has caught in its claw. It is standing on green leaves or seaweed.
It measures 14 inches wide and about 7 inches tall.
It is in excellent antique condition with no chips or cracks!! There is overall glaze crazing due to age and is normal for antique majolica.
This will be double boxed for safe shipping, if you are in the South Florida area we would be happy to make arrangements for you to pick it up.
Add this beauty to your personal collection today or give as a fabulous gift!!
