A rare hand painted plate from Puglia that dates back to the early 1800s. What sets this rustic plate apart from other ceramic tableware of the region is the central initial ‘C’ hand painted in blue (most likely pertaining to the owner or family name). This antique piece with its soft buttermilk glaze originates from Grottaglie, a town in southern Puglia known for its age old ceramic craft and tradition. Its charming plate shows its years of loving use by a family, where it would have been used during mealtimes perhaps as a side plate. It has that magical patina that only years of daily use and the passing of time can bring about authentically. Today, this unique find would be a perfect addition to any kitchen, table setting, or hung as wall art. Create an impactful display when pared with the matching southern Italian farmhouse ceramics, as seen in the images.
Found in Lecce
the baroque jewel and capital of the Salento.
Dimensions: H4cm x W21.5cm x D21.5cm
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.
