Description
Exuberant hand-painted ceramic dinner plate from Certified International's 'Valence' collection, designed by Karidesign. This 10.5-inch plate features a vibrant Mediterranean or Tuscan-inspired motif with a central floral sunburst, surrounded by panels of deep red, mustard yellow, and cobalt blue. Delicate vine and leaf accents provide a rustic, hand-crafted aesthetic.

Authenticity Indicators
Design and color palette perfectly match known Karidesign for Certified International 'Valence' pieces. High confidence (95%). Marking is typically a black stamped logo on the underside.
Flaws to Note
Visible crazing across the glaze surface. This is a common manufacturing characteristic of earthenware but can lead to staining over time if used with oily foods. Minor shelf wear on the bottom ring.
Selling Guide

eBay or Etsy. These platforms are the go-to for 'Replacement' shoppers looking for a specific missing piece of their dinnerware set.
Selling Tips
Photograph the back stamp to confirm the brand for buyers. Mention 'Replacements' and 'Discontinued' in the title. Use high-quality lighting to show the vibrancy of the colors. If selling multiple, bundle them to save on shipping costs as these are heavy.
