Sango Artistica Plate Appraisal

Sango Artistica 367034 Dinner Plate

This is a white ceramic dinner plate, specifically part of the 'Artistica' collection by Sango (Pattern number 367034). The plate is circular with a shallow well and a raised foot ring on the underside. The body is a sturdy, glazed stoneware or refined ceramic that is ivory or off-white in color. The center of the underside features a clear manufacturer's hallmark in a brown-toned ink, which includes the Sango brand name, the collection title 'ARTISTICA', the specific pattern number, and an orange floral graphic accompaniment. Additionally, it contains utilitarian information indicating the piece is 'OVEN DISHWASHER MICROWAVE SAFE' and was made in Korea. A signature, likely for the artist Michael Malthner who collaborated with Sango, is also visible. The condition appears to be very good with no visible chips, cracks, or heavy crazing, though minor shelf wear on the unglazed foot ring is expected for a vintage item. This pattern typically dates to the 1980s or 1990s, characterized by its clean, contemporary aesthetic and high-quality durable glaze.
