The sprightly rooster on this piece faces the day on a sun bright yellow background as he seems to pace across a checkerboard ground. The wide border features a finely detailed version of the popular golden scale pattern. The 8 inch diameter disk has a wide central bowl shape and the 'squame gialle' pattern extends up and over the narrow rim to a final delicately etched edge design on a blue ground, which repeats the decorative edge to the central rooster pattern. Because of this artisan's meticulous faithfulness to the rich palette of traditional Italian maiolica, we recommend this piece for decorative use only.
