Antique Hand Painted Rustic Plate
A very charming hand painted plate that is typical of Pugliese ceramics. Dating back to the early 1900s, the charming blue floral design or ‘rigo and stella’ pattern around the edge and burgundy banding set against the buttermilk glaze is characteristic of this region. The old terracotta pottery from Puglia, like this plate, is thick and robust, and has a lovely handmade, rustic feel. The well loved piece shows its characteristic signs of age with a wonderful patina, and was used for domestic use up until the mid 1900s, and specifically to serve a family during meal times, where they would eat off the same plate beginning with the father and ending with the children. This piece would make a lovely addition to the kitchen, as decorative display or a great centrepiece on a table for fruit.
Found in Martina Franca
a hilltop town in the Valle d’Itria known for its Baroque splendour.
Dimensions: H5cm x W29cm x D29cm
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.
