x2 Vintage 'Righe & Stelle' Hand Painted Plates
A very charming set of hand painted plates typical of Pugliese ceramics. The blue floral design or ‘righe & stelle’ pattern around the edge, set against the soft buttermilk glaze, is characteristic of Grottaglie - a town famous for its age-old ceramic craft. The old terracotta pottery from Puglia is thick and robust, and has a lovely handmade, rustic feel. The well loved pieces show their characteristic signs of age with a wonderful patina, and was used for domestic use up until the mid 1900s. The set of plates would make a lovely addition to the kitchen, as decorative display or to use at aperitivo hour- especially when teamed with the matching bowls and plates.
Found in Lecce
the baroque jewel and capital of the Salento.
Dimensions: Plate 1 & 2 H3cm x W18cm x D18cm
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.
