Item description:
Very rare, large majolica ceramic plate, made and signed on the back by the Icaro Rodi factory in the 1930s, first brand, decorations made entirely by hand with enamels in relief vitrified.
Useful information for the evaluation of the object:
The plate belong to the first and most valuable productions of the factory, when some of the most important artists of the German Vietri period collaborated with it, having withdrawn from Italy due to the war. The plate belong to this period, which was very short, which is why they are particularly rare and valuable, marked with the first mark. In the last photos under this description we have placed a sculpture priced at €600-700 to give an idea of the value of the manufacturing, unfortunately we were unable to find other objects more similar to ours with the same brand, the only ones found are those marked Rhodes, belonging to the subsequent production of the manufacturer, much more common and of lower value than ours.
Final thoughts on the object:
The plate is decorated in İznik style, the decorative style for which this manufacture is best known, which takes its name from the city of the same name, located west of Anatolia, where it was manufactured a ceramic of great value which was initially produced between late 15th and 17th centuries. The originality of the potters was such that their use of original Chinese designs from which they were inspired, has been described as adaptation rather than imitation, and they are now known and admired throughout the world.
Information on artist and/or manufacturer:
The Icaro artistic ceramic factory was active in Rhodes (Greece) during the Italian occupation. Founded in 1929 by some potters from Faenza, it produces ceramics for furnishings with oriental decorations, often inspired by Iznik motifs, as well as deco-inspired artefacts. Among the collaborators of the factory, active until 1944, we remember the Austrian Gunther Studemann, Sophia Van Stolk and the Austrian painter Hegor Huber. In the photo immediately below this description we have put additional historical information for those who want to learn more, with some of the brands used including ours.

OUR COMMERCIAL POLICY
My name is Gabriele, an art lover, since I was very young I started collecting paintings, porcelain, bronzes, glass, ceramics etc. and over time I gained vast experience and a very refined taste in recognizing beauty and then, little by little, I also transferred it to my son Nicolò. Now I have decided, with the help of my son, to sell my entire collection, created in over 35 years of research and selection of beauty, quality and art and then perhaps continue with a real buying and selling activity. We have chosen to sell online and therefore we have adapted to the prices of the online art market, always trying to offer extremely competitive prices compared to the competition. Very often our prices are lower than what we could achieve by taking the objects to auction houses, but selling at auction is an extremely long process and does not produce any customers for us, so we prefer to earn less, but aim to create a excellent clientele over time, earning more on the quantity than on a higher profit on the single piece, which we could obtain by selling it in auction houses.

SHIPPING WORLDWIDE - RETURN ALWAYS ACCEPTED
The cost of packaging is also calculated in the shipping cost, and everything has increased by 19% because both ebay and paypal also take fees on the shipping cost.

OUR SHIPMENTS:
.Our shipments cost a little more than the average, but they are all shipments with professional packaging. Double box with a lot of bubble wrap around the object and a lot of soft material in the large cavities on all sides between the two boxes. This means that the package is much larger and heavier and therefore the cost of shipping increases, not to mention all the work necessary to carry out a similar packaging and the cost of the various materials used.
