Fitz and Floyd Magnolias Majolica Style Ceramic Lidded Bean Pot / Casserole
Fitz and Floyd · Kitchenware > Serving Pieces
Era / Decade
Early 1990s (Circa 1992-1994). This style of high-relief floral ceramic was a hallmark of their production during this period.
Material
Glazed Ceramic (Earthenware). High-gloss majolica-style finish with hand-painted details.
Condition
Very Good. The glaze appears vibrant and glossy. However, these pieces are highly prone to small 'flea bite' chips on the delicate leaf edges and handles. Check for hairline cracks in the lid.
Demand Level
Moderate. There is a niche but dedicated following for vintage Fitz and Floyd botanicals, particularly among 'Grandmillennial' and 'Cottagecore' decorators.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$40.00 - $85.00 for the pair (Single pots usually fetch $25-$35; pairs are more desirable for table settings).
Estimated Retail Value
$45.00 - $60.00 each (original MSRP in 1990s value adjusted to today's market for high-end giftware).
Comparable Sales
Recent eBay 'Sold' listings for similar Fitz and Floyd lidded pots range from $24.99 for single pieces to $75.00 for pristine pairs or larger tureen versions.
Description
Set of 2 vintage Fitz and Floyd ceramic lidded pots featuring a stunning 3D magnolia leaf and branch motif. These cream-colored pots feature hand-painted green leaves and brown woody branches that serve as the lid handles, with matching green side handles. Perfect for individual soup servings, beans, or as decorative kitchen accents. Includes lids and base pots.
Key Features
Highly collectible brand; 3D high-relief 'Majolica' style design; botanical/cottagecore aesthetic which is currently trending; rare to find as a matching pair.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Should have a 'Fitz and Floyd' stamp or sticker on the bottom. Look for the characteristic fine detail in the leaf veining and the specific 'heavy' feel of their earthenware.
Flaws to Note
Look for small chips on the tips of the raised leaves and the rim of the pot. Check the green glaze on the handles for 'crazing' (tiny spiderweb cracks in the glaze) which is common in older Fitz and Floyd pieces.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay or Etsy are best for vintage ceramics due to the targeted collector base. Poshmark Home is a secondary option, though shipping must be handled very carefully.
Selling Tips
Sell as a set of two to increase profit margin and appeal to buyers looking for kitchen decor. Use keywords like 'Majolica Style', 'Mid Century Style', 'Magnolia Leaf', and 'Botanical'. Double-box these for shipping; the raised ceramic leaves are extremely fragile and break easily under pressure.
