Oval serving dish with gadroons in faience or polychrome majolica.

Oval serving dish with gadroons in faience or polychrome majolica, featuring a Hispano-Moorish or Italian Renaissance aesthetic, signed RAM. Characteristics of the piece: Shape: Oval dish with a rim adorned with wide gadroons (relief patterns forming radiating channels), typical of display pieces from the 17th to the 19th century. Decoration: Rich polychromy dominated by saffron yellow, copper green, cobalt blue, and touches of burgundy. The basin features a central medallion surrounded by scrolls, garlands, and small stylised blue flowers. Signature: The reverse bears the handwritten painted mark "RAM". This likely corresponds to the initials of the artisan painter, the workshop, or the modern artistic majolica factory (commonly active in Italy or Spain in the 20th century). Manufacture: The treatment of the reverse (the drips of glaze and the application of yellow/green in circular brush strokes) confirms a handmade production, probably from the mid or second half of the 20th century.
