Stories of Italy Pear Dessert Plate

The Pear Dessert Plate from Stories of Italy represents a masterful blend of historical artistry and contemporary design. This handmade ceramic piece draws inspiration from the Arcimboldo collection, a tribute to an ancient Venetian tradition dating back to the XVIII century at the Doge's court in Venice.

Crafted with reverence to history, this plate features a stunning 3D sculptural element on its surface, reminiscent of the captivating "table tricks" that delighted guests during gala dinners. The hyperrealist ceramic creation showcases intricate fruit and vegetable details, echoing the trompe l'oeil aesthetic that defined this celebrated artistic tradition. Each piece is produced in one of the small ceramic factories that once served the Venetian Republic, continuing their legacy with the same dedication to craftsmanship.

The design was carefully selected from original molds preserved in the factory's historical archive, ensuring authenticity and artistic integrity. The warm yet shining white ceramic finish adds a contemporary touch, beautifully merging centuries-old tradition with modern aesthetics. This creates a sophisticated accent piece that works equally well as functional tableware or a decorative collector's item.

Product Specifications: Diameter measures 21 cm. Handmade using traditional plaster molds and finished by hand. Material is ceramic. For care, handwashing is suggested, and the plate is not suitable for microwave ovens. SKU: SCE006.
