HiBid DESCRIPTION
SET OF THREE MATCHING IVORY CERAMIC PICTURE FRAMES WITH MOLDED ROSES, BASKETWEAVE BORDERS, GLITTER-ACCENTED OVAL OPENINGS, AND BUILT-IN EASEL BACKS
Three matching small ceramic picture frames in a soft ivory off-white, each with an oval opening framed by a heavy molded design of full-blown roses and leaves set against a ribbed basketweave ground, with gently flared shoulders that give the frame an almost cartouche-shaped silhouette. The inner rim around each oval is finished in a glossy beaded rope band with iridescent glitter accents that catch the light, and the center of each rose carries a small pearlescent gold-toned dot, so the frames read as bridal or romantic-cottage decor rather than plain white pottery. The backs are cast in one piece with an integral ceramic easel prop, so each frame stands on its own without hardware, and each is stamped on the back with a small red oval ink mark that is too soft and too small to read in the photographs, so no maker is claimed. These are a natural set for a wedding or anniversary vignette, a nursery or guest room dresser, a shelf grouping of three, or resale as a matching trio, which is worth more together than singly. Bidders should also review the other picture frame lots offered in this sale. Note the frames are sold empty, with no glass, backing panels, or photographs included, and the glitter accents show minor loss as detailed below. Sold as a lot of three ceramic frames.
Description
Quantity: three frames, all the same mold, same size, and same ivory glaze treatment, appearing to be a factory-matched set.
Form: upright frame of molded ceramic, roughly square with softly flared shoulders and a shaped foot, centered on a vertical oval picture opening. The face is decorated in relief with large open roses at the corners with leaves and stems, laid over a ribbed basketweave or bound-reed ground that also forms the border immediately around the oval.
Finish: overall matte to satin ivory or off-white with no painted color. The oval opening is edged with a glossy beaded band carrying clear iridescent glitter or applied crystal-effect specks, and each rose center holds a small raised pearl-like dot with a pale gold luster.
Back and mount: the reverse is plain ivory with a one-piece molded ceramic easel prop and a shaped foot, and a small circular opening at the lower center of each frame back. No wire, hook, sawtooth hanger, or metal fitting is present, and none is claimed.
Dimensions, per the Milwaukee tape-measure photographs: each frame measures approximately 4-1/2 inches wide and approximately 5 inches tall. In both tape photographs the hook end of the tape rests flat on the carpet alongside the frames rather than hooked over an edge of the piece, so these figures are a close estimate rather than an exact measurement. The oval opening is proportionally about 2-1/2 inches wide by 3-1/4 inches tall, which suits a small wallet or 2-1/2 by 3-1/2 inch photograph. Bidders should verify all dimensions from the photographs.
Marks: each back carries a small red oval stamped mark, approximately three-eighths of an inch across. Enlargement of the photographs does not resolve any letters or numbers within the oval, so no maker, pattern name, country of origin, or date is claimed for these frames. No incised numbers, paper labels, or foil stickers are visible.
Description of the material
The body appears to be a fine white earthenware or bisque-finish porcelain, slip-cast in a two-part mold, with the relief crisp enough that individual rose petals and leaf veins are clearly defined. The contrast between the matte body and the glossy beaded inner rim is a deliberate decorative treatment rather than a glaze fault.
Attribution note
Frames of this type - cream bisque-look ceramic with molded roses, basketweave grounds, pearl dots, and glitter-trimmed openings, finished with an integral ceramic easel and a small colored ink backstamp - were widely produced as giftware and bridal-registry accessories and sold through gift shops, department stores, and bridal departments. Similar frames appear in the trade attributed to various importers and giftware lines, but because the red oval stamp on these examples is not legible in the photographs, no specific maker, importer, or line is asserted here. Any statement above about intended use, age, or resale value is offered as the consignor's photo-based opinion and is not guaranteed. Bid on the item as pictured.
Condition
Used vintage or estate decorative frames sold in as-is condition, described only from the photographs supplied. All three appear structurally sound with no breaks, cracks, or reglued sections visible. The close-up photograph shows some loss and unevenness in the clear glitter accents along the beaded inner rim, with sparse or missing specks in pla
