Rectangular Studio Ceramic Platter with Modernist Figural Decoration, Mid-20th Century

This rectangular ceramic platter presents a balanced modernist composition executed in black, red, and cream glazes. The surface features a stylised figural and symbolic scene rendered with confident linear brushwork, combining abstract forms with figurative references. The restrained colour palette and graphic clarity give the piece strong visual presence suitable for wall display or tabletop presentation.

Production period
Mid-20th century.

Style and use
Modernist decorative ceramic platter, suitable as a wall-mounted object or display piece.

Condition
Good vintage condition. Minor surface wear and light glaze irregularities consistent with age and firing process. No visible structural cracks or repairs. Signed “Buko” on the front.

Basis for value
The platter combines hand-painted decoration, a distinctive modernist visual language, and a signed studio production. The originality of the composition and the clarity of the glazing contribute to its collectability as a decorative ceramic from the mid-20th century.

Context of production
The graphic figural style reflects post-war European interest in expressive line drawing and symbolic imagery in applied arts, bridging fine art influences with functional ceramic forms.

Preservation state
Original form and glaze preserved. Natural patina from age, without significant damage.
