Italian Majolica Style Ceramic Bowl Hand-Painted Birds Floral Decor

This hand-painted Italian ceramic bowl showcases traditional folk art motifs executed in the majolica style popular during the mid-to-late 20th century. The exterior features elaborate decorative elements including stylized birds with flowing tail feathers, scrollwork, and floral patterns rendered in vibrant green, blue, red, and yellow glazes. The rim displays a geometric border with diamond patterns and decorative elements in orange-red and blue tones.

The interior center contains a simple yet charming floral motif consisting of a red flower with radiating green foliage elements. The piece bears the marking "DIPINTO A MANO" (hand-painted) along with "B. Brolli" identifying the decorator, and "MADE IN ITALY FOR BLOND" indicating it was produced for export distribution.

This bowl represents the Italian ceramic tradition of decorative earthenware that gained popularity in international markets during the 1960s-1980s period. The folk art styling combines traditional Italian motifs with accessibility for everyday use, making it both functional and decorative.
