A rare hand painted plate from Puglia that dates back to the early 1800s. What sets this large rustic platter apart from other ceramic tableware of the region is the central hand painted design in blue, perhaps depicting a snake or sea creature. This antique piece originates from Grottaglie, a town in southern Puglia known for its age old ceramic craft and tradition. Along with the central motif, the plate with its soft buttermilk glaze features hand painted blue rings that frame the design and border the plate’s outer rim. The charming plate shows its years of loving use by a family, where it would have been used during mealtimes, and 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: H4.5cm x W28.5cm x D28.5cm
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.
