Elio Schiavon Italian Ceramic Plate – Hand-Painted Floral, Mid-Century Studio Pottery

This vibrant hand-painted ceramic plate was created by Italian artist Elio Schiavon (1925–2004), known for his innovative studio pottery that blended traditional craftsmanship with modern artistic expression. Featuring bold floral motifs in shades of red, lavender, green, and yellow, the piece showcases Schiavon’s signature style: a celebration of color and texture.

Handcrafted in Italy, this 10-inch plate displays subtle glaze bubbling from the firing process — a natural result of artisanal kiln work that adds authenticity and character. Far from a flaw, these small variations are a hallmark of handmade ceramics, underscoring the plate’s unique, one-of-a-kind quality.
