Item Description

A classic, old-time and showy, two-sided combination plate covered with azure-blue azurite, a bit of malachite and rosettes of pastel-green, olivenite blades from the famous Gwennap Area of Cornwall. Probably this is over 100 years old. Ex Mark Feinglos Collection, a noted rarities specialist. He obtained it from the older collection of Forrest Cureton. This is one of the very few LEGITIMATE, CORNISH AZURITES you will ever see, that has any display quality at all to it. Minor olivenite, the matrix, and the overall look of this piece confirm its legitimacy aside from the trail of good collectors. valued $500
