This earthenware plate is the result of a medley of influences. Its main motif, the 6-point star, is a common geometric pattern in Moorish-style ornamentation and a blue and white color scheme inspired by 17th century Chinese imports.
While these decorative plates share the same general composition, the artist has endowed each piece with its own distinctive detail. One plate shows petals filled in with a plumed motif, the other features a cross-hatched pattern. Within this flower, a set of concentric circles delineate the central design: a smaller flower that either repeats the hatchure or thick blue petals.
Signed ECF for Emiliano de la Cal Fraile who began his apprenticeship in the family shop, Santa Fe Factory, in 1948.
Made in Castilla, another pair of similar plates is available here.
Dimensions: 20cm in diameter x 3.5cm deep
Hanging your decorative plate: A small incision in the foot of the plate allows for hanging. Our heavier items like lebrillos require a wall mount.
Kindly Note: Small chips and discolouration are part of the charm of handmade antique and vintage pottery. For questions or specific sourcing requests, please contact hello@casapletorica.com.
