DESCRIPTION

Dinner under the palms—without worrying about the weather.

This set of four vintage Italian ceramic plates was hand-made and hand-painted exclusively for The Mane Lion, a company known for its wonderfully decorative Italian tableware and home accessories.

Each plate features a different painterly palm-tree study in fresh shades of green, ochre and brown. Pale-green faux-bamboo borders follow the plates’ clipped-corner octagonal shapes, giving the set an architectural quality and an unmistakably Palm Beach point of view.

At eight inches square, they are beautifully sized for salads, desserts or afternoon treats. They would also make a marvelous grouping displayed on a wall, arranged in a china cabinet or layered behind other pieces on open shelving.

The slight variations among the brushstrokes and palm motifs are part of the appeal of hand-painted Italian ceramics. Collected together, the four designs create a table that feels coordinated without being overly matched.

Fresh, fanciful and ready for lunch beneath the palms—even if the nearest palm happens to be painted on the plate.
