Antique Hand Painted Plate
A large hand painted serving plate with a distinctive swirly sponge appliqué design around the rim which has been applied with vigour and speed giving this piece a dynamic energy and a baroque feel, without being floral. Dating back to the late 1800s, the simple earthy sepia-hue design around the edge set against the creamy glaze is a rare find. The old terracotta pottery from Puglia, like this plate, has a lovely handmade, rustic feel and used primarily for domestic use. This one traditionally used as a serving platter at the centre of the table for Sunday lunch. This piece would make a lovely addition to the kitchen, as decorative display piece, or a great centrepiece on a table for fruit.
Found in Lecce
the capital of the Salento famous for its Baroque architecture.
Dimensions: H3cm x W31cm x D31cm
These are handmade antique ceramics that are perfectly imperfect and some have been used for generations, so please expect some cracks, and chips, and discolouration. These individual characteristics are part of the charm and unique quality of each piece. Please note, colour may vary from screen to screen
