Italian Faience Soup Plates
This is superb set of 12 faience "Vietri" Italy Hand Painted Soup plates. The plates were painted and signed by Romolo Apicella. We believe that the plates date to the 1960's, but it is difficult to ascertain their precise date of creation. The plates feature citrons (lemons) or quinces with wisteria blossoms and foliage on an ivory background and are further enhanced by a lavender rim. These dishes would provide a wonderful accent to a Hampton's kitchen or outdoor dining.
