Banana Plate

$120.00

Majolica dish shaped as a bunch of bananas, modeled in relief and hand-glazed. The composition brings together volume, color, and texture, with a painterly treatment that highlights the curves of the fruit and the surrounding leaves. The glossy finish adds chromatic depth and a strong visual presence, balancing decorative and functional qualities.

This piece belongs to the Italian majolica tradition with naturalistic inspiration, widely present in 20th-century decorative ceramics, where fruits, vegetables, and organic motifs were translated into utilitarian objects with a strong scenographic character. The use of relief and bright glaze points to a production conceived both for the table and for display.

Today it works as a small serving dish for fruit, bread, or accompaniments, or as a decorative piece within a table setting or shelf composition. It can also be integrated into a broader arrangement of fruit- or tropical-themed objects, adding a playful, sculptural accent.
