A superb and scarce late nineteenth century Minton majolica game pie dish, c. 1870. It is beautifully modelled with two foxes stalking ducks around a naturalistic fern and ivy surrounding. The lid has a toad stool knop, all hand-painted. Impressed marks to base. 39 cm wide. (1)Condition: there is a professionally restored crack in the base that is very difficult to detect.
