Dish - Earthenware

This magnificent oval serving dish, very old, signed RAM, is a tin-glazed earthenware piece in Italian style, typical of Deruta’s artisanal productions or the famous traditional hand-painted Florentine trays.

Notable design features:
The festooned and gadrooned borders: The rim features striking relief work composed of egg motifs and gilded fluting, accentuated with touches of purple, orange, and greens.
The central majolica decoration: The heart of the dish bears a delicate Renaissance-inspired medallion, with a central palmette surrounded by fine blue turquoise and gold floral arabesques, all on a white glazed background.
The patina effect: The ochre and golden hues give the piece a vintage, authentic character highly sought after in vintage tableware.
