This is a set of Italian ceramic plates, most likely vintage or artisan hand-painted.
Front Design
• The plates are decorated with a coastal / marine theme.
• Each plate features alternating blue seashells and red-spotted fish painted around the rim on a turquoise background.
• The colors are bold and lively, with a Mediterranean seaside feel.
• One stack shows plates with a white central medallion outlined in blue, likely for serving or decorative emphasis, while others are entirely patterned to the edge.
Backstamp
• The underside of the plates is marked “Made in Italy” inside a circular stamp.
• The word “USA” also appears, which suggests these were exported to the U.S. market—possibly for a specific importer or distributor.
• The terracotta edges peeking through suggest these are earthenware ceramics.
Overall Impression
• These are hand-painted Italian majolica-style plates, likely made for seaside or coastal dining.
• Their whimsical fish-and-shell motif makes them suitable for summer entertaining, seafood dishes, or as collectible décor.
• Given their export stamp, they may date from the mid-20th century (1950s–1980s), when Italian ceramics were widely exported to the U.S.
