This is a lovely Italian ceramic handpainted heart shaped holiday plate that features a stylized Christmas tree with ornaments and a star (upside down on the heart). Made in Italy by Ancora, the pottery has a shiny glaze. The colors are burgandy, green, yellow, gold and red. Note that the red on the edges is a burgandy, not a bright red. The back stamp is Made In Italy with a piece number. There is also a stamp that says Handpainted Made In Italy by Ancor(a). It is missing the A but I have a similar one that has the full stamp so I know it is accurate. The plate measures 7 3/4 inches long at the point of the heart and 8 3/4 inches across at the widest. Very good pre-owned condition.
