Impressive Antique Swiss Thun Majolica Charger – Hand Painted, 40cm (c.1880–1900)
A striking and substantial antique Swiss Thun (Thoune) Majolica charger, dating from around 1880–1900. This exceptional piece showcases superb hand-painted decoration, featuring finely executed detail and rich, vibrant colours characteristic of the Thun pottery tradition.
Measuring an impressive 40cm in diameter and weighing 2.1kg, this charger has real presence and decorative impact. It is fitted with original hanging holes and a metal wire suspension hook to the rear rim, making it ready for wall display.
Although unsigned — as many Thun pieces of this period were — the quality of the painting clearly reflects the work of a skilled hand from this renowned Swiss workshop.
Condition: Excellent antique condition overall. Expected age-related crazing to the central painted area, the odd blemish, and some small flakes and surface wear around the suspension wire (as shown). None of these detracts
...from its impressive visual appeal.
A highly decorative and beautifully painted example of late 19th-century Swiss Majolica — perfect as a statement wall piece or addition to a quality ceramics collection.
