Wholesale Barbotine dish with grape decoration, vintage mid-20th-century ceramic

This small slipware dish features a simple, almost obvious motif: the vine. The elongated shape naturally fits the hand, with its ends slightly raised and modeled. On one of them, a raised cluster of grapes is set into the material, accompanied by its leaf, as if it had been placed there, still fresh. The glaze plays with a subtle gradient, from deep red to green, with a lighter center that reveals a slightly patinated cream tone. Nothing is uniform, and that is precisely what gives it presence. Inside, the surface is soft, almost satin-like, marked by time but without major deterioration. European production from the mid-20th century, in the tradition of decorative utilitarian ceramics. Length approximately 20 cm Good overall condition. An object that immediately evokes simple tables, lively kitchens, and that old way of blending utility and decoration without ever setting them against each other.
