Arabia Palermo Green Soup Plate 22,5 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 plate mainly for soup, that can also be used as a bowl for breakfast, pasta, rice or side dishes. These multi-purpose traditional deep plates have a decorative edge that beautifully frames the food.

The wide edge makes it easy to pass around the dishes and supports cutlery. For this reason, the deep plate also serves as a beautiful serving dish. Thanks to the edge the plate is firmly seated on drying racks.

This lovely plate has minor sings of wear, such as small scratches. There also are some unglazed spots on the back of the plate. Please see the additional photo for an example.
