This decorative ceramic plate, created by Fratelli Fanciullacci in Italy during the 1960s, exemplifies mid-century modern design, merging spontaneous abstraction with geometric order. The surface is defined by heavily textured, dark brown ceramic with a wide, grooved rim in a matte finish. The central area is adorned with an irregular mosaic arrangement of geometric shapes in pastel tones: powder blue, soft pink, and milky white, each outlined with raised, dark ceramic borders. The pastel segments are finished with a glossy glaze, forming a distinct contrast against the raw, matte foundation. The plate measures 28.5 cm in diameter and features a signature on the reverse, confirming its authenticity. The piece is preserved in excellent condition, showing no signs of wear or damage. This plate seems to capture the spirit of 1960s Italian modernism: its mosaic-like fields evoke motion and spontaneity, while the gloss of the glaze reflects light, infusing the pastels with a gentle sheen. The interplay between the tactile, textured border and the smooth, glassy center adds depth, as if the plate were inviting viewers to explore its uniquely imperfect forms. The design quietly narrates an era that valued boldness, inventive material juxtapositions, and visual experimentation. The plate can serve as a striking wall accent or centerpiece on a sideboard in a living room, where its mosaic motif complements interiors inspired by Italian mid-century modernism. It pairs well with matte glass, other ceramic objects, or minimalist wooden furniture. In spaces marked by neutral, calm tones, this piece becomes a distinct but unobtrusive focal point—worth combining with understated graphic art or a simple-shaded lamp to emphasize the dialogue between textures.
