Subject and Style: Design in the "Bianco e Blu" (blue and white) style (monochrome turquoise), typical of the great tradition of Albissola and Savona.

Material and Finish: Made of high-quality majolica (glazed ceramic), entirely hand-painted using the "bianco e blu" (cobalt blue monochrome on white glaze) technique. The finish is glossy and brilliant. Back: The back of the plate bears the handwritten signature "Bertolotto" and the original paper label from the manufacturer "Emmebi - Albissola." It features the classic two holes for wall hanging.
