Description from the seller
Fascinating and scenographic oval serving plate in strong hand-painted tin glaze pottery, dating from the 19th century, featuring a refined neoclassical/eclectic decorative style on a pale straw-yellow background.
Artistic and technical features:
• Decoration: In the center of the cavetto, framed by a circular medallion, are hand-painted two dancing classical figures crowned with laurel leaves lifting a basket full of red fruits and flowers, immersed in a yellow glaze traversed by a dense and authentic period crazing. On the sides extend two wide geometric cross-hatch bands with orange-red dots, while the rim is finished with four stylized floral motifs and an ultramarine blue edge crossed by a graffiti-engraved wave.
• Back and craftsmanship: Fully glazed in yellow on the back as well, equipped with a double ring foot and a factory mark impressed dry in the pasta beneath the glaze.
Dimensions and condition:
• Length: approximately 36 cm (width about 25.5 - 26 cm).
• State of conservation: Excellent antique condition. Glossy glaze and well-preserved colors, free of chips, structural cracks, or restorations. Presents a natural and widespread uniform craquelure across the entire surface and very light signs of placement on the lower foot consistent with its age.
A striking decorative piece, ideal for collectors of 19th-century Italian antique ceramics or as a significant centerpiece. Professional double-wall shockproof packaging and tracked shipping.
