This antique Spanish Manises plate dates to the late 19th century and features a hand-painted cobalt blue bird surrounded by lush floral scrolls, gridded corner motifs, and radial bands along the rim. The plate is signed “RC.” on the back, suggesting a named artisan from the Manises region.  

Produced in Manises, Valencia, a region celebrated for its centuries-old ceramic artistry, the plate reflects both Hispano-Moresque and Renaissance design influences that define historic Spanish faience.

Its large size makes it ideal as a wall-mounted ceramic accent or a sculptural tabletop centerpiece, perfect for Mediterranean farmhouse, rustic Spanish, or global eclectic interiors.
