Naturalist Plate, Portuguese work circa 1980

At its center sits an impressive red lobster in relief, surrounded by seashells, stylized coral, and glazed seaweed, mimicking a beach in an explosion of textures and shimmering colors.
Typical of the early 20th-century Portuguese ceramic tradition, this piece pays homage to the legacy of Raphael Bordalo Pinheiro, a master of majolica inspired by Bernard Palissy. A true decorative work of art, it is hand-shaped and glazed in a typical Baroque style.
