 This is a beautiful rustic Italianate solid plaster wall piece. Crafted (and stamped) by noted Australian potter Anna Chandler. It depicts in bas relief an olive tree growing out of an ancient amphora and its ancient Mediterranean look will enhance the decor of anyone seeking to create an Italian theme or show their love of olives.

It is a heavy piece which is 5cm thick and 55cm in diameter so pickup is necessary. The original price sticker on the back shows it was purchased it for $312.95, however open to any reasonable offer to see it goes to an appreciative home.  Contact Gayle Sheridan gayle.sheridan@clear.net.nz phone 06 877 2315
