24" Polychrome Ceramic Painted Mexican Majolica Art Pottery Wall Plate Charger

About the Item

A beautiful 20th century Majolica Platter / Decorative Wall Plate. Made in Santa Rosa de Lima (Villagrán), Guanajuato. Features a hand painted still life of watermelon and other fruit. The foreground of the plate is blue along the top with a sand color towards the bottom. Spanish-influenced Talavera and Italian Maiolica are sub-genres. Mexican Majolica primarily differs from traditional Talavera in the art form and use of colors. Traditional Talavera is known for its intricate pattern work whereas Majolica uses more free-form designs and artwork. The Santa Rosa workshop lies in the mountains of central Mexico, high above the city of Guanajuato at 8,360 feet. The company takes its name from both the town and the clay of the local Sierra de Santa Rosa mountains used in the pottery. Started by the Salazar family, Santa Rosa has been crafting majolica pottery for over forty-five years. Following tradition, today a group of the Salazar grandchildren manage all aspects of the studio, from sourcing and firing the clay to glazing, painting and designing new styles. Each Santa Rosa Majolica piece is in itself a unique work of art, one that will bring the flavor and flare of this artistry directly into your home. Dimensions: 24" x 3" x 3"

  • Charger Plate Set Six Dinner Plates Serveware Tableware Majolica Painted Italy
    By deBlona
    Located in Recanati, IT
    Set of six majolica charger plates is handmade and hand-painted in Italy following the original Renaissance painting technique, unchanged over time, which we observe to the letter. The elegant decoration is composed of a halo of blue foliage that resembles four groups of wings: from the center of the plate, further ornamental elements develop, projected outwards, which give movement to the entire compositional structure. The beauty of these majolica plates is underlined by the artist's visible brushstrokes that give them a unique style. Further possibility to order a set of 4 or 12 charger...
