Faenza CCM Charger Plate - Fabbrica Faventina ARS - Ceramic - Italy

Description

Greetings,
You are bidding on a Faenza CCM Charger Plate by Fabbrica Faventina ARS of Italy. This ceramic plate is entirely hand painted and made in the style of Giorgio Andreoli. It features a cobalt blue border in the design of grottesco - depicting a pair of cherubs serving up a feast - surrounding an Italian countryside fishing scene. Fabbrica Faventina ARS (1923 - 1956) was owned by brothers Francesco and Ezio Castellini and Luigi Masini, thus the initials CCM. The symbol in between the letters is a stylized peacock feather. Of the four different marks used by the company during its lifetime, this is the most desirable. It was used between 1923 and 1942. Ceramics by Faventina are considered to be among the finest made in Faenza during this period and early examples are highly collectible. Gorgeous looking plate in excellent condition.
Approximately 16.5" in diameter
