Darling estate sale find in these 1950's early 1960's whimsy Italian Pottery watermelon slice plate set, made in Italy! Imported around the world by Walter Hatches these sweet plates have 3D raised details on each with a colorway in pink'ish red, green and black with white exterior underneath. Charming whimsical design evokes a sense
of nostalgia and timeless tasty appeal. Watermelon plates have a glossy glaze, hand-painted and made of weighted ceramic (almost 3lbs combined!) These beauties will add a pop of color to any tasty treats and a classic style to any tablescape! Perfect addition to any watermelon inspired kitchen or Italian Pottery collection!
Plates are in great 60+ year condition! The usual pre-loved light surface wear and typical tiny fleabite wear to rims/edges here and there and to applied decorative watermelon leaves on top of plates from years of helping Betty keep her lunch with the ladies booming, but nothing that distracts from these treasures of Italian pottery history. See enlarged pics for best description and details.
