ABOUT PRODUCTID 17093
This Royal Sphinx ceramic platter from the 1960s is a round, decorative plate with a 24 cm diameter, crafted from faience with a matte, pastel blue glaze. At the center is a hand-painted, highly stylized fish motif in an abstract-geometric manner, defined by bold brushstrokes in shades of blue, turquoise, navy, and violet, accented with olive, pink, and red. The composition is marked by intersecting linear divisions outlining the contour of the fish. The platter features gently raised edges, while the surface is smooth but subtly textured where painted. It is signed by the distinguished Belgian manufacturer Royal Sphinx, based in Maastricht, known for its refined ceramics and distinct mid-century modern style. The condition is excellent—no chips, cracks, or visible restorations. This platter conveys the spirit of the 1960s, an era when modernity embraced imagination and a bold approach to form. The painted fish, set within the round plate, evokes stories from beneath the sea and the period’s fascination with organic motifs—yet the motif is rendered graphically, in the abstract color language of the era. The color rhythms mimic the movement of ocean waves, encouraging interpretation, while the grid structure pays tribute to a time when ceramics transcended function to become a medium for artistic exploration. The platter can be placed on a low sideboard or console in the living room to showcase its graphic qualities. It pairs well with contemporary wooden furniture, against a light wall, or alongside a curated set of vintage tableware in muted tones. For added visual interest, it can be complemented with natural-themed décor—such as wooden or glass sculptures—or soft textiles in pale hues. Collectors with
