Arabia Palermo Green Plate 17 cm, Vintage

Palermo (the capital of the Italian island of Sicily) is a pattern with grape, leaf and cherry ornamentation. The colours are bright: red cherries and blue grapes with moss green and turquoise leaves finalized with moss green edges. The hand-painted dishes were complemented with green plates.

The Palermo decoration was Dorrit von Fieand's first hand-painted decoration. It brought a new style to legendary Valencia Set designed by Ulla Procopé. The Palermo series is rare and collectible.

A side plate, dessert plate, bread plate or a plate for cake or sweet buns. This plate forms a set with a coffee cup. A celebratory Finnish coffee setting includes a coffee cup, saucer, cake plate with a spoon and a serviette for every guest. This plate also functions as a bread plate at the dinner table.

These beautiful green Palermo plates are in good condition, but the intensity of the green colour has some variation, or in some plates there is a tiny white or dark dot, bubble, dent or uneven spot in the glazing. There might be small signs of wear, such as a small scratch. The additional photos show examples.
