Oscar Ducci - Plate - Ceramic - Hand-Painted

This dish designed by Oscar Ducci, made in San Marino and completely hand-painted, presents itself as a piece where ceramics becomes a pictorial support. The interior scene shows a rural landscape built with warm colors and soft contrasts, where yellow-toned houses and reddish roofs blend into an environment of trees, water, and a small bridge. The brushwork is visible, loose and expressive, which adds movement and a sense of a scene captured almost instantly, closer to easel painting than to traditional ceramic decoration.

The background, dominated by yellows and oranges, creates a Mediterranean light atmosphere that envelops the entire landscape. The composition is organized in depth: a vegetal foreground, a watercourse that guides the gaze toward the bridge and, in the distance, the houses that close the scene with a serene and slightly idealized air. This way of constructing space is very characteristic of San Marino decorative pieces of the 20th century, where the aim was to balance craftsmanship and artistic expression.

Ducci’s signature places the piece within a local tradition that valued the unique work or very short series, in which each plate was a personal interpretation by the artist. The result is an object intended to be contemplated, with a warm, evocative presence that works equally as an autonomous decorative element or within a collection of artistic ceramics.
