About the Item

Bring timeless European charm to your table with this set of six vintage Italian ceramic plates, each adorned with a rich cobalt blue fruit motif against a warm ivory glaze. Crafted in Italy, these plates bear a distinctive hand-painted "Italy" mark and production codes, indicative of small-batch artisan pottery often produced in the mid-20th century. The scalloped rims are edged in deep blue, framing a central design of grapes, pears, and pomegranates—symbols of abundance and hospitality in Mediterranean culture. The bold, monochromatic palette reflects traditional Italian maiolica influences, yet with a rustic farmhouse appeal that blends seamlessly into both casual and formal settings. History & Maker Notes The backstamp’s combination of numbers and letters alongside “Italy” is typical of post–World War II Italian ceramics, when pottery houses in regions like Deruta, Faenza, and Vietri sul Mare created hand-painted tableware for both domestic use and export. These pieces were often hand-thrown or molded, then individually decorated, making each plate subtly unique. Condition Good vintage condition with some expected glaze imperfections and wear or chipping to the foot rims consistent with age and use, adding authentic character. Some imperfections to the glaze may appear as chips. Styling Ideas Tablescape Layering – Pair with crisp white linens, silver flatware, and fresh greenery for a refined Mediterranean tablescape. Wall Display – Arrange in a kitchen or dining room as a decorative wall plate collection, highlighting their cobalt detailing. Mix & Match – Combine with other blue-and-white ceramics for an eclectic yet cohesive display, perfect for a French country or coastal home. Dimensions Diameter: Approx. 8.75" 1" Tall 6.5 lbs
