Description from the seller
Pair of Large Shell-Shaped Ceramic Serving Plates from Bassano - Theme "Seafood"
Splendid and eclectic pair of large vintage serving plates (or centerpieces) in fine glazed ceramic, handmade by the renowned Bassano artistic manufactory (Italy), as certified by the relief-embossed mark on the underside.
The two pieces, molded into graceful, roomy marine shell shapes glazed in pristine glossy white, differ by the spectacular three-dimensional decorations applied in relief to the rim, evoking the atmosphere and aromas of grand summer banquets:
The first plate features a large lobster (or langouste) in vibrant red dominating the scene, accompanied by a rich assortment of seafood including mussels, prawns, a scallop, and small spiral shells.
The second plate presents a more minimalist and refined composition with a langoustine (or small lobster), a cuttlefish, a slice of lemon, and a tuft of parsley, finished with great painterly realism.
These ceramics represent a timeless classic of Italian artistic craftsmanship, perfect both as functional pieces for serving seafood dinners and as decorative showroom pieces (Hollywood Regency or trompe-l'œil style) to enrich cabinets, elegant kitchens, or seaside homes.
