Italian Hand-Painted Botanical Plates - Set of 4 - 20th Century
A refined set of four vintage Italian hand-painted dinner plates produced by Grazia Deruta, each decorated with an expressive botanical motif rendered in fluid, painterly brushwork. The floral compositions feature gracefully arching stems, stylized leaves, and softly shaded blossoms in a harmonious palette of ochre, rose, teal, and olive tones, set against a warm ivory ground.
The plates are generously scaled with gently scalloped rims, a classic Deruta form that balances decorative presence with functional elegance. Each composition is individually painted, giving the set subtle variation and the unmistakable character of hand craftsmanship.
The reverse of each plate is marked Grazia Deruta – Made in Italy, confirming their origin and quality. These plates are well suited for use as decorative wall displays, charger plates, or as part of a layered table setting where artisanal European ceramics are celebrated.
A timeless and versatile set that bridges traditional Italian maiolica techniques with a more modern, expressive sensibility.
