Dating back to the mid 1800s, the simple yet elegant design is common to Grottaglie, a town in southern Puglia famed for its age-old ceramic craft. The ivory pottery known as ‘robba bianca’ represents the finest kind of ‘ceramica rustica’, produced with a pewter glaze and twice fired, and is the most expensive of this rural ceramic. Thus these pieces were very valuable and precious to a family, being used for many years, well looked after and repaired if damaged (never discarded). Traditionally this plate would have been in daily use at meal times, with the family eating off the same plate - beginning with the father and ending with the children. This antique piece is rendered all the more unique thanks to its rustic glaze and patina brought about authentically by years of daly use and the passing of time. Today the hand thrown platter would make a lovely addition to a kitchen bench or table setting, especially when pared with the matching plates as seen in the images. See less
