The Zsolnay Store
Item # 279. A Zsolnay Figural Compote. Size: bowl diameter 9.5" across / 9.25" tall. Round raised factory mark, incised form number ( 6693? - can't make out the form numbers so well). Condition: as noted in the photos with a red line, part of the base was broken and repaired. This is the only repair and loss. As with most restoration, there was too much overpainting. There were two pieces when the flowing robe base was broken. The robe of the female figure make the foot of the compote which supports the entirety. Still with the restoration, the eosin decoration inside the bowl is exceptional. The bright green/gold leaves of grass surrounding the inside of the bowl and remarkable. The outside of the bowl is metallic blue and the figure holding the bowl is green / gold eosin. P.O.R.
