Plate 18th century

This 18th-century tin-glazed earthenware plate, produced by the Ferniani Manufactory, showcases a vibrant floral motif. The central design features two vases filled with flowers, set on a stylized landscape, while the rim is adorned with a continuous band of floral scrolls and a geometric pattern. The use of bright blue, yellow, and green hues on a white background creates a visually appealing and characteristic example of 18th-century Italian maiolica. The plate is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
