Mid-Century Majolica Frog on Lily Pad Trinket Dish — Sitzendorf Attributed Germany — Ebeling & Reuss Golden Crown Style | Pattern 33
$45.00$0.00
This charming mid-century frog dish has the kind of sculptural detail that makes a small object feel special.
Modeled as a lily pad pond with a raised frog at center, it brings together glossy blue-green glaze, gold accents, and that wonderfully whimsical Palissy-inspired look collectors love.
At 6 x 4 inches, this is best understood as a decorative trinket dish or ring dish rather than a true bowl, making it an easy piece to style on a vanity, shelf, or side table.
It was produced by the Sitzendorf Porcelain Factory in Thuringia, Germany, and likely imported or finished by Ebeling & Reuss under the Golden Crown line.
