Nippon Hand Painted Pink Rose Blue Floral Garland Celery Dish & Salts Circa 1900
Very pretty porcelain celery dish and matching salts. Nicely decorated with a gold gilt medallion in the center of the celery. Both the border of the celery dish and salts have a black band with gold gilt lattice / net overlay. The celery dish has 8 garlands of pink roses and green leaves with gold highlights over the black and gold border. In between each of the garlands are three blue forget me not flowers with green leaves on either side and gold gilt highlights. The edge of the celery dish has gold gilding and gold beading. The salts have one wreath on either side and a single pink rose on each end, with four sets of three blue forget me nots in between.
All pieces are marked on the bottom with a blue Maple leaf and Nippon Hand Painted. This mark was used between 1891 and 1911.
These have wear to the gilding, but are otherwise in good condition with no chips or cracks.
These have some wear to the gilding, but no chips or cracks to any of the pieces.
The celery dish measures approximately 12 7/8 inches long x 5 3/8 inches wide x 1 3/4 inches tall.
The salts each measure approximately 4 5/8 inches long x 2 1/4 inches wide.
These are antiques and may have small in manufacture defects that do not effect the display of the pieces.
