Vintage Pottery Bowls

We are downsizing our mermaid collection and this highly detailed piece has always been one of our favorites. In the center of the all-white majolica plate/shallow bowl is a coy mermaid astride a flying fish above the waves. Her left hand is resting on the fish while her right hand appears to be clutching strands of seaweed. Two other fish are watching them with amused expressions. The edges of the plate feature lobsters and branches of coral. The bottom of the plate has a shallow pedestal/foot along with the stamp P. We believe the P. Stands for PARRY VIELLE. The plate is in good condition. There are pinpricks on the upper side (see photos with arrows) and no major chips/cracks/stains. Underneath on the inside of the foot there are some minor nicks and one larger chip that does not distract from the piece. This plate is approximately 8-1/4 inches high x 8-1/4 inches across. It stands approximately 1-1/4 inches above the table surface. This will make a great addition to a mermaid collection. The white color will fit into any French country décor. We are a smoke-free/pet-free home. The item “Vintage Mermaid And Fish White Majolica French Plate Bowl France Scarce” is in sale since Thursday, April 25, 2019.
