About the Item

This George Jones majolica leaf and grape platter presents a softly lobed, oval silhouette, with a shallow, dished well framed by a rim sculpted as twisting, vine-like branches that curl into pierced loops at each end. Crafted from ceramic in the Victorian majolica tradition, the surface is molded in bold relief with a lush harvest of overlapping grape leaves. The largest leaves glow in layered emerald and jade, shading to raspberry-pink and mustard-gold at the edges, their finely incised, netlike veining rendered with botanical precision. Clusters of plump periwinkle-blue grapes and smaller, pale green grapes hang among rust-brown and apple-green leaves, and delicate curling tendrils trace the ground. The ground itself is a deep, pebbled chocolate-aubergine that makes the saturated colors appear to glow like stained glass. The rim is finished in a warm, honeyed caramel-brown glaze that frames the composition with an organic, branch-like edge. The relief is crisp and tactile, the glazes are rich and glassy, and fine crazing adds a soft, mellowed depth. Opulent, exuberant, and full of vineyard abundance, the platter feels like an autumn still life glazed in jewel tones. Display this platter on a sideboard, in a plate stand, or on a wall as a vivid accent, or use it as a centerpiece to hold grapes, figs, or small sweets at a special gathering. It complements Victorian, English Country, Cottage, Grandmillennial, and Traditional interiors. To care for it, hand wash gently with mild soap and warm water, avoid soaking, dishwashers, and sudden temperature changes, and dry thoroughly to protect the glaze and applied relief; due to the crazing, it is best suited to display or light dry use. The platter measures 12 inches (305 mm) wide, 9.75 inches (248 mm) deep, and 1.75 inches (44 mm) high. Condition is very good, with a vibrant original glaze, minor age-appropriate crazing, subtle wear along the edges, and no visible chips or cracks.
