Very nice salad plate by Caleca Pottery. Each piece of Caleca was manufactured in Italy from a unique red clay found only in the region of the original Caleca factory. The pieces were then hand-painted by skilled artisans. The special manufacturing process and high firing temperatures created dinnerware that was much more durable than typical European earthenware. Each piece received a stamp ensuring its authenticity. With or without the official seal, the brightly saturated colors and whimsically fresh patterns are instantly recognizable as Caleca designs. 

Caleca announced in June 2014 that the company had suspended production. Subsequently, the company website was taken down, and sadly it is therefore assumed that production will not restart.

Measures 8.5 inches in diameter. There are no chips, cracks, scratches, fleabites, or other visible damage.
