Stories of Italy Banana Dessert Plate

The Banana Dessert Plate from Stories of Italy represents a remarkable fusion of historical artistry and contemporary design. This handmade ceramic piece is part of the exclusive Arcimboldo collection, a tribute to an ancient Venetian tradition dating back to the XVIII century at the Doge's court in Venice.

Inspired by the captivating "table tricks" that delighted guests during gala dinners, this plate features a stunning 3D element on its surface. The hyperrealist ceramic creation showcases a banana in trompe l'oeil style, reminiscent of the fruit and vegetable adorned plates that once graced Venetian nobility's tables. Each piece is meticulously crafted using traditional plaster molds and hand-finished to perfection, ensuring no two plates are identical.

Produced in one of the small ceramic factories that historically served the Venetian Republic, this dessert plate honors centuries of craftsmanship. Stories of Italy carefully selected original molds from the factory's historical archive to create this unique collection. The warm yet shining white color adds a contemporary touch, beautifully merging tradition with modern aesthetics.

Product Specifications: The plate measures 21 cm in diameter and is crafted entirely from ceramic. Each piece is handmade using traditional techniques and hand-finished for exceptional quality. For care, handwashing is recommended, and the plate is not suitable for microwave ovens.

Perfect for collectors and those who appreciate artisanal design, the Banana Dessert Plate brings a touch of Venetian elegance and historical significance to any table setting.
