XL Antique Scalloped Edge Plate
An antique handmade plate with a scalloped edge that is typical of Pugliese pottery. Dating back to the early 1900s, the simple yet elegant design is common to Grottaglie, a town in southern Puglia famed for its age-old ceramic craft. The ivory pottery known as ‘robba bianca’ represents the finest kind of ‘ceramica rustica’, produced with a pewter glaze and twice fired, and is the most expensive of this rural ceramic. The old pottery from Puglia, like this plate has a rustic handmade, farmhouse feel, and traditionally would have been in daily use at family meal times. This piece is particularly unique due to its extra large proportions and wonderful buttermilk glaze. Today the hand thrown platter would make a lovely addition to a kitchen bench or table setting, especially when pared with the matching pieces as seen in the images.
Found in Ostuni
the charming hilltop town of the valle d’Itria known as la città bianca (or ‘white city’).
Dimensions: H6cm x W38cm x D38cm
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.
