Limited Edition Oval Turkey Platter, Large

DESCRIPTION

This limited-edition oval turkey platter is hand-painted in Deruta, Italy by the Maioliche Originali Deruta (M.O.D.) workshop, exclusively for Biordi Art Imports. A proud turkey stands in a golden field of Umbrian hills, framed by a harvest border of pumpkins, corn, grapes, figs, pomegranates, and pears. Every platter is painted by hand, so no two are exactly alike.

At 20.5″ x 14.5″, it holds a whole roast turkey with room for the sides. It is the centerpiece of the Thanksgiving table and comes out again for Christmas dinner and every family gathering after. Between holidays it hangs on the wall or stands on a plate rack as art.

For Christmas. An authentic Italian Christmas gift, hand-painted in Deruta, Italy. It carries the holiday roast to the table every year and becomes the piece the family looks for at every celebration. It pairs with the matching Limited Edition Gravy Boat.

The small imperfections such as the difference in color, shape, diameter or small bubbles that form inside, do not constitute a defect but testify that it is actually an artisanal product.
