EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Deep Plate with Decorative Patterns, dating back to the 1100s during the Byzantine era. Crafted from sgraffito earthenware, this plate measures 4.8x23.5 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. The plate's design features intricate circular patterns and shapes that are meticulously etched into its surface using the sgraffito technique. This ancient art form involves scratching through layers of colored slip to reveal contrasting colors beneath, resulting in an exquisite display of decorative motifs. With its rich historical significance and masterful craftsmanship, this Byzantine plate offers a glimpse into the artistic prowess of the 12th century. Its delicate yet striking composition reflects both beauty and functionality, as it was likely used for serving meals or adorning lavish dining tables during that time. Acquired by the museum through a purchase from the J. H. Wade Fund, this artwork now resides within their collection as a testament to human creativity throughout history. As an out-of-copyright image captured by Bridgeman Images, this print allows us to appreciate and admire this remarkable piece of earthenware artistry without any commercial implications attached. In essence, this photograph encapsulates not only an object of aesthetic value but also serves as a window into our past – reminding us of our enduring fascination with beauty and our desire to create lasting works that transcend time itself.
