Skip to product information
An absolute, museum-grade masterpiece of late 19th-century European ceramic art. This is an exceptionally rare, authentic antique Victorian or Art Nouveau period majolica pedestal cake stand, also known as a tazza, dating precisely to circa 1890-1910.The tazza features a magnificent, vibrant baby pink basketweave textured background, masterfully adorned with a dramatic, high-relief three-dimensional composition of a blooming white Water Lily flower, delicate closed buds, and rich emerald-green lily pads with winding organic stems. The stylized, split-branch borders are beautifully woven into a continuous Art Nouveau whiplash frame.Crucially, the exquisite botanical relief decoration continues down the heavy pedestal base, which mirrors the stunning green leaf and pink ground composition, providing a perfectly balanced, statuesque silhouette. The thick flowing majolica lead glaze creates a breathtaking, glass-like lustrous reflection that beautifully accentuates the physical depth of the ceramic mold. This represents the ultimate holy grail for serious connoisseurs of antique European majolica or elite Art Nouveau table styling.

Condition Report:
EXCELLENT ANTIQUE CONDITION. Considering this delicate over 110-year-old majolica piece has a separate pedestal stem, its state of preservation is truly remarkable. The structure is 100% sound with absolutely no cracks, hairline fractures, structural breaks, or any professional restorations.The vibrant hand-painted pigments under the thick glaze remain exceptionally bright, clean, and fresh. As expected with genuine antique majolica, the clear glaze exhibits light, honest age-appropriate micro-crazing under close inspection, which heavily verifies its turn-of-the-century antiquity and does not detract from its magnificent display beauty. An investment-grade survivor.
