Pair of Decorative Fruit Motif Serving Platters

This is a pair of rectangular serving platters, likely made of ceramic or pottery, featuring a dark, possibly glazed, surface. Each platter is adorned with a vibrant and detailed hand-painted fruit motif in the center, primarily showcasing pomegranates, pears, and bunches of grapes, accented with green leaves and small white flowers. The color palette of the fruit emphasizes rich reds, oranges, yellows, and deep purples, providing a striking contrast against the dark background. A distinctive feature is the ornate, raised gold-colored border that frames the perimeter of each platter. This border appears to be a continuous scrollwork or rococo-inspired pattern, adding a touch of elegance and old-world charm. The edges of the platters have a gentle scalloped or wavy contour, following the flow of the decorative border. There are no clear manufacturer's marks visible in the provided image. The style suggests a decorative, possibly Mediterranean or Italian influence, common in mid-to-late 20th-century decorative ceramics. The items appear to be in good overall condition, with no obvious chips, cracks, or significant wear visible, though the lighting causes some reflections. The craftsmanship of the hand-painted details and the gilded border indicates a decent level of quality.
