Old Tureen And Plate In Italian Scr Earthenware Colandine Decor

Oval-shaped serving plate and tureen made by the Società Ceramica Italiana (1856-1965) with monochrome decal decoration, in oriental style, called Colandine.

The decoration called "Colandine", from the name of the English manufacturer who invented it, is characterized by an oriental style garden with pagodas, flowers and a stream in the foreground, this decoration was very fashionable at the end of the 19th century and was widely copied from Italian and European producers.

A brief historical note regarding the decal decoration technique: this technique dates back to the second half of the 18th century but was introduced in Italy only in 1820.

Both pieces are in excellent condition, with only a small and insignificant chip on the bottom of the tureen (see last photo).
