The wonderful Green Majolica plate I took from my cupboard at home (not easy) was like it was glued to my shelf!
Included in my display and sold. I remember driving back from selling customers perfect pieces for their home in Carramut, Western District, parked outside a dealerā€™s closed shop, rang him and waited while he drove to his shop to sell to me. Iā€™ve so loved this piece.
Having a half price 50% off sale helped Iā€™m sure.
The Joy Peck painting also sold while I was taking these photos (touches of green)
And the Portuguese Cabbage Ware Tureen with ladle and under plate sold too.

However, not wanting to be political on my business page, I shall stop!

I love the natural oxidisation on this beautifully maintained piece.
Could be cleaned and polished up, but not by me..
I bought this from Gary Kay, Antique Decor, High St, Armadale some years ago and found hiding in my storeroom recently.
So I thought to do a post on my Copper, Bronze, Pewter, Brass, Spelter and pressed metals around my showroom today.
