Each hand‑painted plate adorned with a blue fruit motif — plums, berries, pinecone florals, and leafy clusters.

The plates are signed with the artisan workshop code 8/2, indicating Pattern 8 and Painter 2, confirming the entire set was painted by the same artist.

The plates feature crisp scalloped rims, thin Umbrian blue border, fully glazed front and back and traditional Umbrian faience clay body.

The set dates back to 1960–1980, produced in a small Umbrian studio known for coordinated tableware sets.

Each plate is slightly unique — a hallmark of true hand‑painted faience.

Approx. 7 3/4” diameter.

A rare opportunity to acquire a complete 12‑piece artisan faience set.

One plate has a small chip on the back. The last photograph shows this imperfection. The chip is not visible from the front of the plate. See less
