Large Early Green and White Hand-painted Faience Platter with Staple Repair and Tin Strap Hanger carlotta huse with interlocking cagesI purchased this antique faience platter from the same MA based dealer as the blue and white bowl I just listed, and they feel like sisters to me this one decorated in a pretty green and gold, which feels very Florentine to my eye, though whether Italian or French or otherwise European. I'm not expert enough to say. Clearly another quite old one, though, and another with a satisfying staple repair running across the back, and another monogram, too.
