Design and Details

The platter features a lush green glaze with varying tones that give it a lifelike depth — darker greens along the leaf veins and lighter hues toward the edges. The surface is richly textured, with raised vein patterns that mimic the organic structure of real leaves. The scalloped, undulating rim adds to the naturalistic effect, giving the piece movement and character even when at rest.

Markings

The back of the platter bears an impressed mark reading:

“7024/32 MADE IN ITALY”

This indicates the production mold and style number, confirming it as a hand-molded, Italian-made ceramic piece. While this particular tray doesn’t show a VIETRI brand stamp like your previous bowls, it’s very much in line with Italian Majolica-style ceramics that VIETRI and similar artisan studios (such as Este Ceramiche or Ceramiche Leonardo) are known for.

Function and Presentation

This platter is both decorative and functional:
• Ideal for serving hors d’oeuvres, salads, fruit, or antipasti.
• Makes a striking centerpiece or wall-mounted decorative plate.
• Perfectly complements nature-inspired, botanical, or coastal table settings See less
