A wonderfully expressive piece from Cerámica del Río Salado, this hand-painted Majolica bowl brings together sculptural form and vibrant colour in a way that feels unmistakably Southern European. The studio, founded in 1969, is known for its ability to blend Andalusian ceramic traditions with bold artistic flair, and this bowl is a beautiful example of their more decorative Majolica-inspired lines.

A striking decorative bowl for display, fruit, bread, or festive table settings — full of personality, craftsmanship, and colour.
