The piece is crafted using the classic sgraffito technique (where the artisan scratches through the surface glaze to reveal the clay body underneath before painting). This style of colorful, folk-art floral motifs against a textured, rustic glaze was highly popularized by Italian pottery studios in regions like Umbria, Deruta, and Tuscany during the post-WWII mid-century era. The piece has a rustic, unglazed appearance with decorative painted spots.It is designed as a small decorative vessel, often used for breakfast trays. Handmade in italy See less
