Large-Scale Italian Terracotta Charger

$500.00

Large-scale terracotta charger (circa 1940s, Italy) with bright blue, teal, and yellow geometric patterns with ornamental floral decoration in the center. There is some edge loss, but what appears to be more significant losses are original to the piece. The edge / surface spots that remain unpainted but ‘raised,’ indicate that the charger was kiln-fired with these imperfections (these particular unpainted ‘spots’ are actually raised surfaces, implying additions, not chips).
Monumental piece that combines crudeness and simplicity of form with refined, ornate detail.
Measures: Diameter 18″ x height 4.5″.
