Trompe L'oeil Plate ~ Olives 18cm

A trompe l'oeil plate is a ceramic dish created using the “deceive the eye” technique, which makes objects appear three-dimensional and realistic, blurring the line between art and reality. These plates often feature highly realistic painted or sculpted objects, such as pastries, seafood, or other items, that trick the viewer into believing they are real food or other objects. Historically, trompe l'oeil ceramics were a theatrical element of 18th-century dining, used to surprise and delight guests at the end of a meal.

Our plates are still functional with room for serving food and look amazing mounted on a wall.

We recommend hand washing.
