Vintage Italian Ceramic Fruit Bowl: Hand-Painted Ceramiche Alfa Pottery

This large 13-inch vintage Italian fruit bowl was made by Ceramiche Alfa, in Sesto Fiorentino, Italy. Dating from the 1980s, this deep bowl measures 4 inches in height and features hand-painted fruit and leaf motifs on the interior. The exterior is a classic terracotta color, also fully glazed, showcasing a warm, earthy aesthetic that reflects its Italian roots.

Ceramiche Alfa was established in the post-World War II period and became known for blending traditional Tuscan ceramic techniques with modern forms. This bowl exemplifies that legacy — combining utility with artistic decoration. Perfect for display on a dining table, kitchen island, or as part of a vintage Italian pottery collection, it also makes a thoughtful gift for pottery collectors, Italia lovers, or anyone who appreciates authentic European craftsmanship.

Condition: Excellent – no chips, cracks, stains, crazing, or fading. Small white mark on the bottom is underglaze, and is not a chip. Feel free to message me if you have additional questions or would like more photos.
