Serpent and animal pottery tray
The central design on this heavy hand made pottery tray looks a winged sea serpent biting the head of an animal. Or, perhaps, the two animals are really one? Done in a high glaze turquoise, this tray measures roughly 13 x 9, with an inch high pie crust edge. The rectangular center area is a raised surface itself, and then the design is in moderate relief. Generally nice condition, there are some areas of light glaze flaking and other areas where the glaze did not flow. No obvious marks on this weighty piece of clay. (#T-1005) |

Majolica Dog and Crow tile ca 1890
Whimsical and wonderful scene on this round majolica tile - a big dog lies in his dog house and stares at a crow. His bowl is right there - did the crow try to steal his food? Probably German in origin, the back of this has a raised circular edge, allowing the tile to function as a trivet. Fully glazed on all sides and edges, this has a background color of pale cream and molded design in brown, green, gold, black and gray. The back edge shows minor edge wear, two shallow flakes, and another wear line. The front surface is excellent, still with its original shiny glaze. (#T-1407)
