Known worldwide for their complex glaze experimentation and unique historical reinterpretations, this plate perfectly showcases Bottega Vignoli's distinct visual vocabulary.

The face of the charger features a gorgeous, highly stylized golden winged horse (resembling Pegasus or a mythic hippocampus) flying alongside a classical cornucopia overflowing with organic flora and botanicals. The design is painted on a deep cobalt blue background featuring a textured, speckled finish. The golden figures are enhanced with a lustrous, iridescent metallic sheen—a direct result of the studio's mastery of unpredictable high-temperature full-fire reduction techniques.

The verso is fully finished with a deep reddish-purple mottled luster glaze. The raw foot rim is cleanly hand-signed by the makers: "Vignoli Faenza, Made in Italy, For Decor Only". The piece comes display-ready with an integrated wire hanger tightly bound to the base foot, making it ready to safely hang on your wall immediately. See less
