It was manufactured and hand-painted using a white thin-glazed technique called faience in Coimbra, Portugal. This intricately designed collection is rendered in white as a tribute to the decorative language of a defining era, with Middle Eastern and Roman influences. The composition features a vibrant and richly detailed design, full of color and figures, with majestic animals such as deer and a mythological griffin, timeless symbols rooted in historical European ornamentation, framed by intricate floral motifs and geometric accents in rich olive green, navy blue, and warm earth tones.

This is a truly unique piece; subtle variations in line, form, and color ensure that no two are exactly alike. Rich in heritage and artistic craftsmanship, it can be beautifully displayed on a wall, layered on a shelf, or styled as a distinctive tabletop accent. On the reverse, it bears the signature of the artist, Reinaldo, further reinforcing its authenticity and collectible value.

More than a decorative ceramic, this plate is a storied work of art. A refined statement piece that brings character, craftsmanship, and Old World elegance to any carefully curated interior. The hand-painted artistry imbues it with soul and authenticity, while its traditional motifs and rich palette allow it to harmonize seamlessly with vintage, classic, or eclectic settings. This versatile plate can be used as serveware, as it's microwave and dishwasher safe. It also works beautifully as table décor or as a decorative accent for the home. See less
