Hi everyone - can you help in identifying this Earthenware Platter - Large 35.5cm diameter - deep rim - 5.5cm high
I have been unable to pinpoint the likely origin of the designs!
Seven colours within the design - Bright Enamelled colours and showing Sgraffito / scraffito work throughout.
very puzzled - Elderlymax

Not sure if this will help, but I was in a similar situation with a plate in the same kind of design and motifs.
I finally discovered it was Swiss, an old folklore type of decor. I am providing a plate which has some common elements to yours, and also a page with more.
Thanks for posting.

Hi truthordare, Thank you so much for your insight and direct links - very helpful and country of origin now reolved.
Many thanks
Also similar to Bulgarian pottery. Google ‘Bulgarian Pottery’ and then look at the images. Not saying it’s not Swiss, just a remarkable similarity.
art.pottery - Thank you for comments re Bulgarian Pottery - agreed the style is similar. many thanks
what a beautiful piece!
