The underside bears a partially legible red factory mark and impressed numbers. Presented in antique condition with age-related crazing, surface wear, rubbing and losses to the gilt decoration, minor firing irregularities and other imperfections visible in the photographs. A striking example of Turn-Teplitz Art Nouveau ceramic design. Approx. dimensions (in): 10.75 x 8.25 x 6.75.
