Mintons Green Majolica Dessert Cake Stand - Item/Description: Antique Mintons Majolica pedestal cake stand, or tazza plate, which was manufactured by the English ceramics company, Minton, during the Victorian era, specifically between the 1860s and early 1900s. The style reflects the Victorian naturalism movement, featuring a relief-molded design that includes a decorative basket-weave pattern around the circumference of both the plate face and the pedestal foot, accented by a central symmetrical fan motif with a small flower taking center stage.
