Antique Majolica Covered Sugar Bowl

Antiques : Ceramics, Porcelain

 

Dating to the last quarter of the 19th century, this large turquoise blue majolica sugar bowl has twig handles, pink flowers and rope detail on a basketweave ground. Many people confuse these with biscuit jars, but late 19th century sugar bowls were large and meant to hold 1 pound of sugar. This one stands just over 5" tall and measures almost 5" in diameter at its widest point. There is a 3/8" chip on the edge of the lid as pictured, a glaze flake off the handle edge and on one of the leaves, all pictured. No cracks, overall crazing. Displays well and the colors are lovely.
