Ceramic decorative plates (unverified maker)

This set features two round ceramic or earthenware decorative plates with a white base glaze and colorful hand-painted or transferred artistic motifs under a glossy clear finish. The plate in the foreground showcases a stylized palm tree design with a reddish-pink trunk, orange and pink fronds, and dark purple fruit or coconuts, all surrounded by multicolored paint splatters in green, yellow, and blue. The plate in the background displays a more abstract floral or sunburst motif with concentric ridges in the center and radiating brushstrokes in blue, yellow, and purple, accompanied by similar multicolored splatters. Both pieces appear to be in good overall condition with no obvious chips, cracks, or structural damage visible in the image, showing a glossy, reflective surface. The construction suggests standard modern decorative pottery techniques, possibly intended for display or casual dining. There are no maker's marks, stamps, or signatures directly legible on the top surfaces visible in the photograph. The owner provides a user-supplied attribution claiming these items were made by Brunelli in Italy, but this claim remains completely unverified by physical inspection or visible markings in the current image. The aesthetic aligns with contemporary or late 20th-century decorative Italian majolica or studio pottery, but without inspecting the underside for stamps or labels, the exact origin cannot be established factually.

Per user submission: attributed to Brunelli in Italy. Based on what I can see in the photograph, this set consists of two round earthenware decorative plates featuring hand-painted motifs under a glossy clear glaze. The foreground plate shows a stylized palm tree, while the background piece displays an abstract floral or sunburst design, both accompanied by multicolored paint splatters. I cannot verify from a photo whether these are genuinely by Brunelli, as no maker's marks or signatures are visible on the top surfaces, and I would need physical inspection of the undersides to check for stamps, labels, or hallmarks. My appraisal value range of $150 to $300 assumes the owner's attribution is correct and that the items represent mid-to-late 20th-century Italian studio pottery or majolica of that origin. Both pieces appear to be in good overall condition with no obvious chips or cracks visible on the reflective surfaces, which supports the higher end of this estimated range. General market demand for contemporary decorative Italian studio ceramics of this aesthetic tends to be modest, appealing primarily to collectors of mid-century decorative arts. To confirm authenticity and solidify the attribution, an in-person examination by a qualified ceramics expert, alongside verification of any stamps or paper labels, would be necessary. If the items turn out to be unbranded reproductions, replicas, or simply made 'in the style of' rather than by the stated maker, the value would likely drop to the $40-$80 range, as the market value relies heavily on the correctness of the Italian studio attribution.
