Vintage Italian Majolica Floral Plate in Hand Painted Style

A joyful vintage Italian majolica plate with a pretty hand painted look, bursting with colour and detail. The centre features a neat floral posy, framed by a wide border of trailing leaves and bright blossoms in inky navy, cornflower blue, sunny yellow, and soft pink. It has that instantly uplifting Mediterranean feel, the sort of piece that makes a kitchen or dining space look collected rather than styled to death.

At 29 cm across and around 3.5 cm deep, it is a generous size for serving, but it is just as brilliant used purely for display. Style it upright on an open shelf with cookbooks and a few simple ceramics, or hang it on the wall as part of a mixed plate display for an easy shot of colour. It also works beautifully on a console table with a small vase of stems, or layered into a blue and white scheme to add warmth and charm.

There is light vintage wear to the base and rim as per the photos - consistent with age and use, and it presents really well overall. A lovely piece for anyone who wants colour, pattern, and a little bit of Italian spirit at home.
