Early 20th-Century Algarve Floral Plate – Olaria de Almancil

This charming early 20th-century plate from the Algarve region, crafted by Olaria de Almancil, is a beautiful example of Portuguese ceramic artistry. The plate features an intricate hand-painted floral design in soft blues and earthy greens, framed by a delicate lattice pattern that highlights smaller flower clusters around the edge. The main floral motif at the center brings a touch of rustic elegance, characteristic of Algarve pottery.

The underside of the plate is marked with “Olaria de Almancil – Algarve – Celia R.44,” providing authenticity and adding to its collectible value. The glaze has aged gracefully, with some gentle craquelure that enhances its vintage appeal without detracting from its very good condition. This plate would make a striking display piece, either on a wall or in a cabinet, bringing a touch of Mediterranean charm to any space.
