Vintage Takahashi Antigua Grape Plate, Hand-Painted Majolica Style, 8 Inch (0124-24)

A richly textured vintage Takahashi Antigua plate featuring raised basketweave detailing and sculpted grape clusters in deep purple and layered green. Hand-painted and glazed with dimensional relief, this 8-inch ceramic plate brings old-world vineyard charm to a wine bar, kitchen wall, or curated shelf display.

Produced for Takahashi San Francisco and made in Japan, the Antigua pattern blends Mediterranean warmth with 1980s decorative craftsmanship. The woven background and glossy grape motif create beautiful depth and shadow when styled vertically.

Lovely displayed as a single statement accent or layered into a gallery plate wall.

Condition: Very good vintage condition. No chips or cracks noted. Visible age-appropriate crazing throughout the glaze, consistent with production and age. Structurally sound and display-ready.

IMPORTANT NOTE: At Darling Della Vintage, we believe every scratch and bit of patina tells a story. Our pieces are 30+ years old and have lived full lives, so gentle wear, tiny chips, or age-worn charm are part of their soul — not flaws. We photograph and describe each item carefully, but please expect natural signs of age. Embracing vintage means embracing history — and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
