Description: This is a stunning 60 plus year old Italian majolica centerpiece tray with dolphin handle in a "diamond" shape with 4 sections. It is large and hand painted in shades of light wine sienna, yellow and green with a Tuscan-style castle, flowers, and man and woman peasants, on a white glazed background. It is signed on bottom with "Italy" and a signature which I cannot make out. The "dolphin" handle is particularly unusual with 2 large dolphins with coiled tails at top of handle. There are no cracks or crazing and is in very good condition; however there are 3 small chips on the underside edge of the tray (not visible at all on top) which I have photographed (last 2 photos). This piece is from estate of an elderly relative and was purchased in Italy in early 50's. It is very unusual and with the divided sections is also very functional. It is quite large, measuring approximately 20 inches long by 14 inches wide by 6 inches tall (to the top of the handle). Great opportunity to add a beautiful piece of vintage Italian majolica to your collection! 1. All items I sell either come from or have been stored in a smoke free environment and are sold “as-is”. All items I sell are cleaned, washed, ironed and/or polished as necessary – I do not sell dirty items. I photograph and describe in detail to the best of my ability. I do NOT accept returns, so please read detailed description and look at photos carefully!!! I use my own photos of listing items taken in my home – never stock photos! You will receive the exact item(s) pictured in listing! I recommend that you look at Ebay listings on a computer or ipad rather than a smart phone – the phone app does not always easily display the complete listing description and you can miss much pertinent information!!!! Please contact me if you have any questions whatsoever or would like more information, and I will be glad to answer and/or provide additional photos if desired. I respond promptly to any questions. 2. I package very carefully and normally ship via UPS or Fedex by next business day following purchase and payment. Note: I don’t recommend shipping fragile or larger packages via USPS. USPS routinely mishandles shipments resulting in delayed delivery and higher than normal damage/loss. UPS/Fedex may be slightly more expensive; however, they handle shipments quickly and carefully and are much more reliable and reputable in the unlikely event of damage/loss! I will be glad to combine multiple purchases to save on shipping costs where feasible. If you wish to make a multiple purchase please contact me before paying for items so I may figure correct shipping and send you an accurate invoice. Packages are shipped with tracking and/or insurance. 3. I have been selling on Ebay for over 24 years, and unfortunately, carrier shipping charges and cost of shipping supplies, e.g., tape, bubble wrap, packing paper, boxes and printer ink, etc., have greatly increased in the last few years. I take that into account when setting prices and do my best to provide quality items at reasonable prices, prompt handling, and careful packaging. I try to set the lowest prices on Ebay for items of comparable quality and condition; however, I will consider "reasonable" offers. Please read our feedback - buyers are enthusiastic in their praise and are very pleased with their purchases as well as quick handling and delivery.
