Descrizione dettagliata lotto

Although the contrast here is subtle for an overlay, the color of the relief plane is extremely rare and the carving unusually well rounded. This fits into a broad group of wares, many of which have this subject, which appears to date from the mid-eighteenth century and have been made for the Court.
