Stunning 1880-ish pineapple motif bread tray. Vivid colors of green on yellow with brown braid trim, brown center. Some knife marks in the bottom and a little wear to some of the high spots (pattern is busy, so it is not obvious). Mottled coloration on the back. There is a spot on the back that looks almost like a thumb print in the glaze. I assume that is in the making. Very impressive piece. Size is 13" by 11 1/2".
