13.5” IKAROS / ICAROS of RHODES GREECE Iznik Style Hand Painted Gilted Plate WoW

Description: This stunning vintage plate was made by the Icaros Pottery Factory in Rhodes Greece, which is famous for its Grecian tiles and ceramics made from 1928 until the factory closed in 1988. This gorgeous plate is hand crafted and intricately hand decorated with lush blues, greens and lots of gold gilt detailing. According to my research, all Ikaros pieces were made in limited numbers - the number of each edition varied but never exceeded 1000 - and the pieces decorated with gold are considered more valuable. This plate is gilded with gold throughout and is quite a brilliant beauty when displayed under light. It is signed and numbered on the back: “Handmade in Rhodes Greece by Ikaros Pottery A-279” Designed with two holes in the back for hanging. Measures just under 14" in diameter. In excellent like-new condition. No chips, cracks, repairs or gold loss. Display stand not included.

Copied from the internet: “The company Industria Ceramiche Artistiche Rodio Orientali (I.C.A.R.O.) was established January 19, 1928 by the Italians in the framework of an ambitious plan to industrialize the Dodecanes. The company’s aim was to reproduce the so-called “Lindian” Iznik ceramics, which were considered as of «Rhodian» or «Lindian» origin up to early 20th century because of their high concentration in Rhodes. The company’s production included a wide variety of items, such as decorative plates, jars, pitchers, dinnerware, tile compositions, animal-shaped ceramics and other items for everyday use, renowned for their beautiful motifs and bright colours. Among the most famous samples were those that copied the rich repertoire of Iznik’s ceramics, including floral motifs with bouquets of tulips, hyacinths, roses, and carnations, as well as representations of ships of various types.” Ikaro Icaro ΙΚΑΡΟΣ ceramic pottery Lindian gild gilt gilted kiln
