The centerpiece features a boldly rendered red lobster in high relief, surrounded by naturalistic details of mussels, seaweed, and textured sand, all executed in a rich palette of deep greens, cobalt blues, and earthy browns. Characteristic of the Caldas tradition established by Rafael Bordallo Pinheiro, this piece exemplifies the artisanal ceramic production of the early 20th century in Portugal, blending sculptural dynamism with decorative functionality. An exceptional example of Portuguese Palissy revival ware, this charger makes a dramatic wall display or table centerpiece for collectors of fine European ceramics. See less
