Vintage Majolica Wall Pocket Vase — Kingfisher on Lotus Leaf
This striking vintage ceramic wall pocket vase features a vivid high-relief depiction of a kingfisher perched on a lotus leaf with a budding flower. Executed in a lush, majolica-style glaze, the piece displays vibrant greens, inky cobalt blues, and delicate pink detailing. The leaf structure is modeled with impressive realism, including individually raised thorns that add both tactile dimension and visual interest.
Likely dating to the mid-20th century, the vase is marked on the back with the number “89” and a faint pictorial emblem—possibly a stylized bird—characteristic of small studio or decorative majolica production. The form is consistent with known vintage majolica wall pockets of the era, inspired by 19th-century English majolica but typically produced in Europe or Asia for decorative export. A single hole at the back allows for wall mounting, and the sculptural silhouette makes it equally suitable for tabletop use.
Condition
In excellent condition with no visible chips, cracks, or repairs. The glossy glaze remains intact, and the detailing is crisp throughout.
Dimensions
8.25 inches high x 5.5 inches wide x 2.75 inches deep
