Superb old French Butter Tub or Box from a very good Dallas estate. It is in the manner of Dutch Delft, with the very thick whitish glaze underbody and the applied decoration on top of this background. It is a French box, not Dutch Delt, but it is within this aesthetic and it will look well with your Dutch pieces. From a very good Dallas estate, an extremely affluent family who were very advanced collectors of Delft and similar. Rare because it is French and rare becuase of the extremely fine polychrome decoration. Not as old as we would probably like; it is marked "Made in France" so it is an early 20th century piece, ca. 1900 - 1940. Still a superb example and a fine addition to the serious collection. Measures about 6" long and 3.5" wide and 3.5" tall and it comes across as larger in real life than these dimensions possibly imply; it is about the size of a normal butter tub. MINT condition on very careful and honest inspection with NO chips, cracks, missing parts, re-glued piece, etc. Further, no wear to the polychrome decoration. The pics are very honest and show the condition well and you will not be disappointed in the condition of this piece. NO RESERVE and a nominal start and the pics tell the rest of the story. Bid with confidence, it's a pretty piece and you'll be pleased. Please check my other auctions for more interesting
