Majolica ceramic plate decorated entirely by hand by the artist depicting a landscape, specifically a seascape with boats and a beach in the distance, signed on the back in gold by the manufacturer "Carbet - Italy," and catalog number. The seascape depicted is very beautiful, with attention to the smallest details, reminiscent of 19th-century paintings. The plate is a good size and made of high-quality ceramic, which is hard, heavy, and solid, as it is majolica ceramic. A beautiful plate, a good size, entirely hand-decorated, offered at an excellent price.

Useful information for evaluating the item:
From our internet research, we have found that ceramics made by the Carbet factory are offered on other online art and antiques sales sites at considerable prices. We found a plate described by the expert as "Decorative Floral Ceramics, Beautiful Polychrome, Carbet Ceramics, Artist Faggi, 1900s" estimated at €937.33, then we found a vase offered on the Internet for €650 and another plate, also with floral decoration, for €700. Meanwhile, on the Internet, a pair of Carbet vases is offered at €1,440. All this to give an idea of the value of the ceramics produced by this manufacturer.
