Large Antique Hand Painted Scallop Plate
A very charming antique plate that is typical of Pugliese ceramics. What makes this piece extra special is the hand painted scalloped pattern around the rim of the plate in a wonderful colour combination of blue and faded plum and yellow highlights, set against a buttermilk glaze base. Dating back to the early 1900s, the large platter has that magical patina that can only be brought about authentically by the passing of time and years of daily use. This plate is a lovely example of local domestic pottery, and would have taken pride of place in a family home and primarily used to serve a family during meal times. This hand thrown piece would make a lovely addition to the kitchen or table setting, adding some country charm.
Found in Lecce
the baroque jewel and capital of the Salento.
Dimensions: H5.5cm x W35cm x D35cm
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.
