Handwritten inscription on the reverse: "Decorato a mano Vietri" (Hand-painted in Vietri).

Diameter 32cm, thickness 3cm. No hook or back attachment; a suitable mounting bracket will be required. In very good overall condition, however, there are three small flaws in the original firing glaze and an old dent on the back edge that caused a double surface crack, visible on the reverse and slightly visible on the side, without affecting the overall sturdiness. A few fine, natural glaze cracks are also present, very discreet. Weight approximately 2 kg. This piece has an attribution mark,
