About the Item

The dish is made in a Classic Art Nouveau style, designed by Wessel at the height of their finest Majolica faience production. Made of earthenware with a delightful metallic Faience sheen. It is based on the shape and colors of a cucumber in green, with a surrounding of dark green and brown/yellow leaves. Ideal for serving or as a delightful ornamental dish. The Wessel company was started by Johann Mathias Rosenkranz under under the name of the 'Poppelsdorf Faience Fabrique' in Germany, circa 1755.
