**Please forgive the glare and shadows. Glass is SO hard to photograph** I have it shown in various light. 

I acquired it and others at the estate of two highly regarded college professors who after retirement in the 1990s turned their love for collecting into a prosperous antique business selling in Round Top as well as across the South.
As you can imagine, their estate was unbelievable…it had the most extensive Majolica collection I’ve ever seen. They were avid book collectors, orchid enthusiasts, and custom framers who expertly framed botanicals and birds from antique books and magazines. 

Sourcing the South is my favorite thing to do... finding pieces that have been cherished for years and hopefully will be cherished for years to come. Many are steeped in history and tradition and some are just pretty but all are thoughtfully curated so that I can bring you the very best of what I find💙

It measures 15.5” tall x 11.5” wide from the outside corners of the frame.
