Jay Willfred for Andrea by Sadek Blue and White Reticulated Ribbon Plate

This is a decorative ceramic plate featuring a classic cobalt blue and white color palette. The plate is characterized by a central hand-painted solar floral medallion surrounded by a scalloped, reticulated border. The reticulation consists of small circular and pill-shaped cutouts encircling the rim, historically designed to allow a ribbon to be woven through for hanging display. Each section of the scalloped rim is decorated with stylized floral swags and scrollwork in varying shades of blue, indicating hand-applied glaze. The piece is crafted from a white earthenware or porcelain body with a high-gloss glaze finish. Physically, the plate appears to be in good vintage condition with bright colors; however, there are visible minor imperfections such as glaze pinholes and slightly uneven paint application, which are characteristic of the artisan manufacturing style. Attributed to the Jay Willfred division of Andrea by Sadek, likely manufactured in Portugal or Italy during the late 20th century. The craftsmanship reflects a traditional European faience or delftware influence, emphasizing decorative provincial charm over formal fine china.
