This ceramic platter, produced by Limburg Dom-Keramik in Germany and dating from the 1950s, is crafted from glazed faience in a warm, subtly creamy white. Distinctive of mid-century modern design, the rim features alternating geometric blocks and curved rectangles in mustard yellow and deep burgundy, painted under the glaze to form a rhythmic, abstract composition. The gently upturned edge incorporates integrated handles decorated with shallow, evenly spaced vertical grooves, providing both tactile and visual interest. The platter's proportions are broad and low (plate diameter: 31 cm, total width with handles: 34 cm), and the surface is smooth with a subtle matte sheen. The maker's signature is found on the reverse. The overall condition is very good—there are only minor glaze abrasions along the rim, typical for gentle use and nearly seven decades of history.
This platter echoes the optimistic spirit of postwar German design, where vibrant color and dynamic pattern signaled a belief in progress and a new modernity. The matte finish and saturated hues capture the visual freedom of the 1950s, as if the bold lines could recount stories of domestic renewal and a world turning towards the future. Minute signs of wear at the rim serve as quiet reminders of decades spent at the heart of gatherings and interiors, imparting the kind of subtle patina that only time bestows.
Placed atop a low teak or pale oak sideboard, the platter brings its modernist heritage to the fore—functioning equally well as a decorative centerpiece or serving piece for fresh fruit. Its geometric motif pairs seamlessly
