Rare 17th-century Catalan blue and white tin-glazed earthenware plate, produced in Catalonia, Spain. The plate features a distinctive border decoration composed of bold, short cobalt brushstrokes resembling finger impressions, a defining characteristic of the ditada series. At the center appears a stylized female figure in profile, a known iconographic motif in Catalan ceramic production of the 17th century, documented in museum collections in Barcelona. This piece exhibits all the hallmarks of early Catalan majolica: expressive hand-painted decoration, uneven earthenware body, rich surface patina, and visible age-related wear consistent with centuries of use. Comparable examples are held in museum collections, including documented specimens in Barcelona. Origin: Catalonia, Spain Period: c.1620–1700 Material: Tin-glazed earthenware with hand-painted cobalt decoration Dimensions: Diameter: 8.3in / 21cm
