A beautiful early-20th-century antique Italian ceramic platter originating from Abruzzo, Southern Italy. Hand thrown and hand painted, this exceptionally large piece features a vibrant floral motif in plum red, mustard yellow and grass green, framed by delicate ink-blue lines around the rim.
The combination of warm earthy colours and bold floral decoration is characteristic of traditional Southern Italian pottery, giving the platter a wonderfully rustic Mediterranean character. Its generous 38 cm size makes it both a striking decorative object and a practical centrepiece for a large dining table, kitchen island or console.
Beautifully aged through generations of use, the surface has developed an authentic patina that gives the piece its individual character and charm. The hand-painted decoration is complemented by the simplicity of the traditional ceramic form, creating a timeless farmhouse aesthetic.
Found in Ostuni, the whitewashed hilltop town in Puglia's Valle d'Itria, this one-of-a-kind platter is a wonderful example of the diverse Italian ceramics discovered by Rivesto throughout Southern Italy.
Pair it with the matching antique jugs shown in the photographs for a collected Mediterranean table setting, or display it on its own as a statement piece.
