{"product_id":"vedova-besio-figlio-blue-white-chinoiserie-side-plate","title":"Vedova Besio \u0026 Figlio Blue and White Chinoiserie Ceramic Side Plate","description":"\u003cp\u003eTwo figures beside a willow tree form the blue chinoiserie scene on this Italian ceramic side plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuildings and a small bridge-like architectural feature accompany the figures, with a floral scroll border surrounding the central design. The fine blue linework leaves generous white areas between the motifs, giving the scene a lighter appearance than densely printed transferware. A green crowned shield on the reverse reads Ved. Besio \u0026amp; Figlio, with Made in Italy beneath it. The maker wording and country inscription sit together in a compact mark on the otherwise plain reverse. The small side-plate format brings the figures and border into close relationship. Its chinoiserie subject is distinct from a claim that the plate itself is Chinese.
