Our fancy ceramic plate is handmade and hand-painted in Italy following the original Renaissance painting technique, unchanged over time, which we observe to the letter: it is decorated in majolica painted in a monochromatic antique blue and decorated by a platinum luster, comprising a wavy mixtilinear rim which is divided by eight bands which are arranged on the following with a radial structure: half of them, the largest ones, are painted with refined floral motifs; the others, which alternate with the previous ones, are devoid of ornaments. The same decorations present in the brim are shown in the large cable, which are characterized by natural elements such as flowers, leaves and berries. This beautiful piece can be hung as a decorative wall dish...

This exclusive ceramic plate is handmade and hand-painted in Italy following the original Renaissance painting technique, unchanged over time, which we observe to the letter: it is decorated in majolica hand-painted in duotone of black and golden yellow, showing an elegant decorative motif of the Deruta tradition which is inspired by a tile found in a local church and suitably reworked in a modern key. The wide brim, with a raised edge and profiled with a finely painted modular ornament, is characterized by an extensive decorative border band where the traditional peacock feather motifs are represented, decorated with delicate shades of golden yellow shaded with cerium white. Naturalistic decorations are depicted inside the large cable, arranged in specular and radial symmetry which branches off from a central hexagonal element and articulates around the circumference, forming elegant golden yellow raceme motifs that stand out against a black background. Our majolica plate can be used as a fancy centerpiece or it can be hung as a decorative wall dish...
