Hand-Painted Italian Orange & Olive Rosette Serving Platter by Geribi (11" x 11")

A bold, one-of-a-kind square serving platter handcrafted and hand-painted in Italy by Artisan Geribi. The composition is richly layered: a sunlit orange-and-olive rosette radiates outward from a harlequin-style checkerboard center, framed by intricate dotwork and four dramatic corner florals in cobalt blue and deep red. Finished with a sculptural, gently upturned rim, this piece is designed to serve beautifully—and to command attention as functional art.

Part of the Biordi Art Imports Collectible Collection, it is truly one of a kind—created by hand, signed in spirit by the brushwork, and impossible to replicate.

The Ribigini family has been producing majolica for many generations. Gerardo owns the workshop. His Father organized a group of artists after the ware and built a factory for 200 workers. When Gerardo was 15 his apprenticeship and started the business at the age of 20. Gerardo began as an apprentice at 15 years old. Now Gerardo, and his daughter, Claudia, hand-craft one of the most popular designs sold at Biordi, the peacock feather ceramic design. These patterns are special order. Allow 3 to 6 months to complete your special orders as each piece is made for you, and can also be personalized with your name and/or the occasion.

Italian ceramics are heirloom quality products, and can last lifetime with proper care. We have some suggestions that will preserve your majolica for years to come.

Majolica is dishwasher safe, but many people choose to hand wash their pieces as a precaution. Because majolica is a porous material, some pieces are not meant to hold liquid for a long period of time. Check for warning labels before ordering a product, as the pieces that are most notorious for "sweating" are appropriately labeled.

Majolica is sensitive to extreme temperatures, specifically boiling or freezing liquids. Pouring water with a rolling boil directly into a teapot, for example, may lead to breakage. To avoid this, temper the object. The industry standard is 620 degrees Celsius (1,148 degrees Fahrenheit). Quench the glass to cool it.

Crazing is common in well used majolica. The tiny cracks in the glaze do not affect the functionality of your majolica.

Majolica hand-crafted products should not be microwaved, as it may crack and/or break the ceramics.
