Nino Parrucca Hand-Painted Sicilian Majolica Plate

Story

In the heart of Palermo, the Parrucca family transformed the ancient tradition of Sicilian ceramics into a celebrated form of modern folk art.

Maker / Origin

Nino Parrucca is a legendary figure in Italian ceramics, known for his whimsical designs that depart from the rigid geometric patterns of traditional Renaissance-style majolica.

Condition & Value

The surface appears bright with no visible cracks or major chips. There are some minor pinholes in the glaze visible in the green foreground, which are common manufacturing artifacts in handmade Sicilian pottery. Excellent condition generally maintains the higher end of the value range.
