Item Description
A striking late 17th-century Sicilian maiolica plate, possibly from Caltagirone, painted in the characteristic palette of cobalt blue and yellow. The central design depicts the bust of a lady in profile, exhaling a delicate stream of flowers or perfume—a whimsical and allegorical motif typical of Sicilian ceramics. Expressive brushwork brings movement to her dress and hair, while refined patterns frame the composition with a frieze of radiating fans and shell ornaments along the lip. Unrestored and in excellent condition, this bold and playful plate exemplifies the charm and spirit of Sicilian maiolica. A rare and captivating decorative piece.
