Large shallow terracotta dish decorated with birds, 20th century.

Large hollow dish made of turned terracotta, featuring a rich reddish-brown decoration on a light beige background. The composition, particularly dense and meticulous, is organised into several concentric registers mixing birds, floral and plant motifs, small trees, stylised landscapes, and geometric friezes. The centre is animated by a wide reserve of sienna brown surrounded by finely drawn motifs, while the walls feature an abundant decoration with a very artisanal character. The reverse is also decorated with circular bands and a floral frieze, a particularly interesting detail that reflects the care taken in the overall piece. There is a stylised motif impressed under the base. The piece displays beautiful irregularities in turning and decoration, characteristic of artisanal production. With its significant dimensions, 31 cm in diameter and approximately 12 cm in height, it is a true large deep dish, very decorative and visually striking. Likely a work from the 20th century, probably from the first half or mid-century, with the exact origin yet to be determined. In good overall condition considering its age, with slight traces and irregularities inherent to its manufacture and use.
