This piece of majolica, a rare example of majolica from Limoges (unmarked but we have had other pieces through the years with this distinctive base) is a match holder in the form of a woman astrologer or perhaps a witch. She has a serpent on the medallion which seems to fasten her cloak together. She holds a basket (for discarded matches?), and stands 9"-23cm high. She has a minuscule spot on the hat which seems to be the only bit of wear. Otherwise, perfect, we are proud to present this rare majolica piece.
