Vtg Erphila Art Pottery Bavaria Lacinato Kale Leaf Relish Celery Serving Dish

Description

Description
NEW ESTATE FIND!
Lovely 1950s era figural relish/celery dish in the shape of a Lacinato kale leaf.  Stamped "Erphila Art Pottery Bavaria" on the back and impressed "134/??" by the stem on the back side.  It's a really lovely and unusual piece with the raised bumps that you see on that beautiful kale!!  A wonderful mid-century piece for your home!
Condition
It shelves well and is impressive though no perfect.  It has some small nicks in the ceramic on the underside along the leaf edges.  They don't come through to the top of the dish and, to me, they don't detract but they are present so we are pricing the dish accordingly.
Has been packed away and may need some cleaning as this is fresh from a newly acquired estate.
Please keep in mind that this item came from an estate where the people loved, cherished, and used their things.  As such, some of them were packed away over time and have not seen the light of day until we are listing them.  We do everything we can to describe everything to the best of our abilities - good, bad, flaws and all.  We would not with any intent leave something out of the description.
As most of these items are used and old, they will have some wear which is normal.
