Rare Vintage Edition: The Signature Accessory for an Exceptional Preppy Interior Fall in love with this spectacular decorative piece, a large Portuguese majolica (barbotine) plate from the renowned Caldas da Rainha factory. This large-size plate from the marine-themed series is one of the most iconic and sought-after pieces, embodying the Palissy Ware style with dramatic intensity. In the center, a striking, three-dimensional, carmine-red crab (using a trompe-l'œil technique). It is surrounded by an exuberant border of marine flora and seashells in polychrome glazes (green, navy blue, pink). The textured background, mimicking sand, enhances the three-dimensional effect. Size and Rarity: A large, imposing decorative plate, 34cm in diameter, much rarer and more impactful than standard sizes. Its rich colors and exquisite craftsmanship make it a true collector's item. Interior Design Trend: This is the centerpiece of the "Preppy Interior" style, Grandmillennial decor, and Coastal Grandma aesthetics. It adds a touch of chic eccentricity, a hint of maritime history, and a trendy, relaxed luxury. Magnificent Portuguese barbotine, a legacy of the art of Bordallo Pinheiro and his successors (such as Álvaro José or José Cunha). Estimated period of manufacture: Mid-20th century (1930s-1950s). Signed Lica on the back. In good condition, with some minor imperfections (see photos). Carefully packaged and shipped with tracking.
