Cheerful Hand-Painted Contemporary Dessert Plate - 6¾"

Graphic and expressive, this small contemporary handcrafted ceramic plate is hand-painted with a stylised face featuring mismatched eyes in deep blue and warm brown, accented by soft yellow and vivid orange elements. Spontaneous, hand-drawn black linework defines the features against a warm cream ground. The asymmetrical composition gives the face a bold, slightly mischievous expression that feels lively and engaging. 

This plate is part of a larger hand-painted series, though each piece is entirely unique in colour and expression. Other plates from the same group are available here and sold individually. The underside is signed Gertrude, an artist based in Antwerp, a city with a strong artistic tradition and an active creative community. Condition is very good, with a bright glaze and the subtle variations inherent to handmade work.

Ideal for serving dessert or small bites, the plate also works beautifully as decorative wall art, either displayed on its own or combined with other plates from the series to create an expressive arrangement. It brings a fresh, artful note to a kitchen, dining nook, or open shelving, and can also be repurposed as a cheerful catchall on a console or bedside table, adding colour and personality to everyday rituals.
