This elongated ceramic platter originates from Belgium and dates to the 1920s. Its form is a stretched oval with gently rising, slightly asymmetric sides and a flat underside. Crafted from clay, the platter is coated in a highly glossy, drip-effect glaze that shows pronounced color variation: a muted blue-green dominates, shifting in places to pale grey and rich, dark green and blue, especially along the rim and inner surface. The surface decoration is marked by flowing transitions and abstract, organic patterns unique to each section, reflecting the artisanal approach of the era. There are no visible seams, handles or adornments apart from the decorative glazing, emphasizing structural integrity and the artistic restraint typical of the period. The condition is excellent—free from chips, cracks, or wear—while subtle crazing in the glaze, visible on close inspection, further corroborates its early 20th-century character. The platter resonates with the spirit of the 1920s: a time when minimalist forms met glazing innovation and the artisan's hand became integral to a piece's ornamentation. The lustrous glaze forms fluid streaks and organic brushstrokes, evoking the calm rhythm of interwar Europe—moments when functional objects became quiet companions to everyday rituals. Painterly transitions in hue recall the explorations of the Art Deco era, when ornamentation was born not from excess but from the controlled improvisation of material and process. This piece lends itself to display on a console or sideboard in a living room, where daylight or focused lighting can bring out the depth of its ceramic surface
