Description: This large square plate from the Renaissance Collection depicting Michelangelos works is a unique and rare piece of art pottery. Handcrafted by an Italian artisan of the Mancioli company, Italy, features a semi-matte finish and a beautiful hand painted figural of Michelangelos “Cumean Sybil in beige, brown, and white. The plate has a diameter of 10.25 inches and stands at a height of 1 & 3/16 inches. The plate is a licensed reproduction from the Fisher, Bruce & Co. Renaissance Collection of Michelangelos Sistine Chapel. The collection was created by the Mancioli pottery company for Fisher,Bruce $ Co. It is made of earthenware and is recommended to be hand washed only. The plate weighs 1 pound and 12.3 ounces and has a printed backstamp. This perfect addition to any collection is a must-have for pottery enthusiasts and collectors alike. The plate overall is in great condition. There are a few rust colored markings on the backside top and bottom edges. It’s from a very old and rusty plate hanger that I removed. I did scrub the majority off however some marks remain. I think it would come off further with a magic eraser. There is also a very old, difficult to see flea bite on the edge of the piece. I did focus on these areas in the photos for your review. Cumean Sybil was the most famous of the five Sybil’s on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Michelangelo wanted to show that even a pagan, prophet, priestess would be welcomed by the Messiah and not just the Jewish people.
