VINTAGE SOLID AND HEAVY ITALIAN HAND CRAFTED & DECORATED FIMA DERUTA MAJOLICA WALL / CABINET PLATE
DERUTA, A MEDIEVAL HILL TOWN IN UMBRIA, ITALY, IS KNOWN AS A MAJOR CENTER FOR THE PRODUCTION OF MAJOLICA, PAINTED TIN-GLAZED EARTHENWARE, IN THE RENAISSANCE AND LATER. PRODUCTION OF POTTERY IS DOCUMENTED IN THE EARLY MIDDLE AGES. IT WAS ALSO THE FIRST ITALIAN CENTER TO USE LUSTREWARE PIGMENTS. OPEN PIECES ARE USUALLY PAINTED ON THE TOP SIDE, WHICH SUGGESTS A SPANISH INFLUENCE. THE CENTRAL PAINTED DESIGN RARELY COVERS THE WHOLE SURFACE, LEAVING ROOM FOR A GENEROUS BORDER PAINTED WITH DECORATIVE MOTIFS
THIS LOVELY DECORATIVE VINTAGE WALL / CABINET PLATE IS HAND PAINTED WITH AN ARTISTIC LANDSCAPE SCENERY IN THE CENTER WHICH DISPLAYS A RURAL CHURCH BESIDE A LAKE WITH BIRDS AND MOUNTAINS IN THE DISTANCE.

DEEP BLUE TRIM HAS BEEN USED UPON THE RIM AS WELL AS IN A DEMI-LUNE SHAPED PATTERN FRAMING THE FLORAL MOTIF. ALL MAGNIFICENTLY HIGHLIGHTED BY BEING PLACED AGAINST A SNOW WHITE GLAZED BACKGROUND.
