Late 19th-century Majolica presentation plate from Hugo Lonitz. This footed stand, or Tazza, would have been used to display desserts or for decorative purposes. The piece is molded in relief and has the traditional Lonitz mark, an oval containing double fish, and a production or model number. This blue pedestal plate is numbered 168 and was produced circa 1890. In excellent condition. A professional restoration artist repaired a break in the pedestal stand.
