Ceramic Wall Plate, centerpiece with St. George, 24K Gold Luster & Relief Design

About the Item

This one-of-a-kind hand-painted ceramic wall plate by renowned Italian ceramist Gabriele Mengoni is a stunning work of art, showcasing the legendary Saint George. Painted in soft sepia and azure tones, the central depiction of Saint George slaying the dragon symbolizes bravery, chivalry, and the timeless battle between good and evil. Crafted in Gubbio, a city with deep historical ties to Saint George, the plate features a luxurious 24K gold lustre finish. The flange of the plate features reliefs to emphasize the reflections of the gold. This technique is inspired by the Renaissance technique of "coppe abborchiate," created by Master Giorgio Andreoli, also from Gubbio. The flange of the plate features reliefs to enhance the reflections of the gold. This technique is inspired by the Renaissance method of "coppe abborchiate," created by Mastro Giorgio Andreoli (circa 1465–1555), also from Gubbio. Saint George’s connection to Gubbio is especially significant, as local legend tells of the saint saving the town from a dragon, making this plate not only a work of art but a tribute to the rich cultural and religious history of the region. Additionally, Saint George is the patron saint of England, adding further layers of historical significance to this unique piece. As a one-of-a-kind creation, this plate reflects Mengoni’s mastery of traditional Italian ceramics combined with innovative design, making it a standout for collectors and art lovers alike. Its versatile design allows it to serve as a wall hanging or a centerpiece, perfect for adding a touch of Italian artistry and history to any space.

Floral Organic Modern Ceramic Wall Plate / Centerpiece, 1950s
By Tilgmans Keramik
Located in Copenhagen, DK
Vintage handmade fully glazed Swedish midcentury modern wall platter / centrepiece with organic, floral decor depicting a gazelle with a direct gaze surrounded by vegetation in brown, ochre, green, white and bright pink colors on a striped dark blue background created with the experimental sgraffito technique that Tilgmans became famous for. Designed and handpainted in the late 1950s by Eivor Lang and manufactured by German/Finnish Paul Harald Tilgman in his workshop in the small town of Kortedala close to Gothenburg, Sweden. Milky white glaze on the base and sides with curved, muted green decor framing the image along the edge. Three holes for hanging - two in use with metal wire. Signed under base. An handpainted piece in beautiful condition. Paul Harald “Harry” Tilgmann was born in Dresden, Germany in 1904 and emigrated to Sweden during WWII where he started Tilgmans Keramik (= Ceramics) in 1948 in the small town of Utbynäs close to Gothenburg. Tilgman had 16 employees working for him and when he hired the Polish refugee Marian Zawadzki (1912-1978) as artistic director in 1953, Tilgman Keramik started experimenting with the distinct sgraffito technique. The sgraffito technique consists of carving fine lines into the background of a design through a light colored glaze down to a dark grey clay slip. This created a unique textured ground which has become a style associated with Tilgmans Keramik in particular. The decorative elements also appear to be outlined with a carved line and then hand painted with overglazes where birds, fish, flowers, butterflies and other animals were a common theme. This type of work was the most popular in midcentury Sweden alongside Tilgmans small animal figurines...
