Majolica style handled tray/butter pat. It looks like an aster flower; and it has an incised mark on bottom and a worn, smooth aged bottom rim. There is a small plate that looks very similar to this item in the book on Majolica. It has one fleabite on edge, and one tiny surface flake on a flower tip; and some crazing. Even if this is not antique Majolica, it will fit in with other Majolica quite nicely. And, if it is antique Majolica, then you're getting a great deal! It is 8 x 7 inches. (Incised mark on bottom is a circle with a J or C in it; and looks like a V and 6, but not sure.
