Offered here from the dougfinds collection of curated fashion, accessories, clothing, collectibles, and unique gifts is this beautiful vintage Italian majolica deep oval serving bowl by Meridiana Ceramiche, handcrafted in Italy.

Decorated in the timeless Italian Renaissance tradition, this generously sized serving bowl features an elegant Deruta-inspired floral border hand-painted in vibrant cobalt blue, golden yellow, aqua, and black scrollwork surrounding a warm ivory center.

The softly sponge-painted yellow rim and flowing blue exterior accent create a classic Mediterranean look that works beautifully in farmhouse, Tuscan, coastal, or traditional kitchens.

Its deep oval form makes it equally suited for serving pasta, vegetables, salads, fruit, bread, or as a striking countertop centerpiece.

Although Meridiana pieces were produced outside the famous town of Deruta, they capture the same colorful majolica tradition that has made Italian ceramics collectible for generations.

Condition

This bowl presents beautifully.

There are no cracks, repairs, or crazing noted.

Several small glaze flakes are present along portions of the yellow rim where the glaze has chipped away, exposing the underlying clay. These are minor cosmetic imperfections commonly found on vintage Italian majolica and are shown clearly in the photographs.

The hand-painted decoration remains vibrant with excellent gloss throughout.

Please review all photographs carefully, as they are considered part of the description and provide the best representation of this item's condition.
