It is unsigned - which would suggest  that it orginates from San Marino. The back of the plate is matt black with a wire to hang it on your wall. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions: 10 1\/4 x 8 inches.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy plaque is a larger example  plate is has a black base colour into which fine lines have been drawn to create the design. These show as an incised white in the black ground (Sgraffito). Then a glossy red glaze is applied on the background - but leaving the drawing design untouched. Highlights are added with other coloured gloss glazes. The design features a girl in a white dress with a red scarf draped around her shoulders. She looks back out of the composition. She is an artist - and holds a paint brush and palette - and is about to copy the tall blue flowers seen to her left and right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is an artist's signature lower right. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe edge of the plaque or plate is surrounded by a beige and caramel  fat lava glaze.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy plate is in fantastic condition - with no damages. This size and condition are reflected in my asking price. It will certainly be a feature piece on a wall in a mid-century modern interior. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt will be sent to you with Royal Mail Tracked (Small Parcel).
