Large Glazed Ceramic Artichoke Table Ornament in Pedestal Bowl - A two-piece ceramic table ornament, likely earthenware, modeled in the form of a large artichoke.

The coordinating base is a pedestal bowl with a deep rounded body, a wide flared rim, and a circular stepped foot. The entire piece is finished in a vibrant, monochromatic translucent green lead-glaze with a decorative crackle effect throughout. The glaze pools in the crevices of the modeled leaves to create a textured, high-relief effect with darker green tones. The interior of the bowl features a consistent green glaze and a slightly raised circular center. Some Damage As Pictured. No maker's marks, signatures, or factory stamps are visible on the interior of the bowl or the exterior surfaces.Overall Height: 18.5 inchesOverall Diameter: 9.75 inches.
