This is a bright and cheerful Italian ceramic serving dish
Form & Shape
• Type: Open serving bowl (possibly a cachepot or centerpiece bowl).
• Shape: Gently flared sides with a rounded base.
• Handles: Two small applied handles on opposite sides, shaped like leafy branches, painted in green.
Decoration
• Floral Motif: The outside is hand-painted with bold tulip designs — a deep red tulip and a soft pink tulip, both with green stems and leaves. Around them are scattered smaller blossoms in pastel blue, pink, and lavender, adding a delicate spring-like feel.
• Rim & Details: The rim is edged in a fresh green glaze, which matches the leafy handles and ties the design together.
Markings
• The base is stamped “ITALY”, indicating its origin. This type of simple country-of-origin mark was often used on 20th-century Italian ceramics made for export.
Style & Era
• The hand-painted tulips and overall look suggest a mid-20th century piece (1950s–1970s), when Italian pottery with floral motifs was very popular in the U.S. and Europe.
• The cheerful colors and tulip design give it a folk-art yet refined majolica style, characteristic of regions like Deruta or Bassano in Italy.
✨ Overall, it’s a decorative Italian majolica bowl, ideal as a centerpiece, fruit bowl, or decorative floral container.
