Pts International Dinnerware Appraisal

PTS International Catalina Dinner Plate

This is a ceramic dinner plate from the 'Catalina' pattern manufactured by PTS International. The plate features a complex, Tuscan-inspired aesthetic with a central well decorated in a light tan or parchment-colored glaze that has a marbled, sponge-applied appearance. Overlaid on this base is a scrolling green vine and leaf motif with a hand-painted, watercolor texture. The wide rim is strikingly different, featuring a series of geometric concentric rectangles and scrollwork in alternating shades of terracotta red, sage green, and muted pink. The construction is heavy stoneware with a glossy glaze finish typical of late 20th-century mass-produced dinnerware (circa 1990s to early 2000s). The colors are earthy and muted, intended to mimic Mediterranean pottery. Notable craftsmanship details include the slightly raised texture of the border design. No major chips or cracks are visible in the photograph, though fine surface scratches from utensil use and some crazing in the glaze are common for this specific manufacturer and age. The piece likely carries a 'PTS International, Made in China' backstamp on the underside.
