Large Early Green and White Hand-painted Faience Platter with Staple Repair and Tin Strap Hanger orange bowls a list of books purchasedI purchased this antique faience platter from the same MA based dealer as the blue and white bowl I just listed, and they feel like sisters to me this one decorated in a pretty green and gold, which feels very Florentine to my eye, though whether Italian or French or otherwise European.
