VAT included. Sold under the margin scheme for second-hand goods — no VAT is shown separately.
This square hand-painted wall plaque from Jie Gantofta features a delightful tactile floral pattern in relief. Set against a deep green background, a beautiful and detailed bouquet of white flowers with blue shading and black centers emerges. The rustic, unglazed earthenware on the back creates a lovely material contrast to the glossy, vivid glaze on the front. An excellent and colorful example of popular 1970s wall ceramics, complete with its original preserved label.
