Pair of oval dishes in hand-painted faience with an Italian majolica spirit.

Pair of oval dishes in hand-painted faience – Italian majolica spirit – 20th century. Rare pair of oval dishes in hand-painted faience, inspired by the tradition of Italian majolica, in an elegant neo-Renaissance spirit. Each dish features a delicate decoration in shades of blue, depicting putti (cherubs) and architectural elements, harmoniously standing out against a bright and deep yellow background. The scalloped edge, highlighted by a fine black line, accentuates the sophistication of the whole. The faience, thick and well-balanced, reflects careful artisanal work, typical of 20th-century European productions. The absence of a signature enhances the decorative and timeless character of these pieces, designed primarily for aesthetics. These dishes are superb decorative elements, ideal for displaying on a wall, sideboard, console, or china cabinet, and fit perfectly into a classic, Mediterranean, or chic eclectic interior.
