Paris - 7” Oroga Romanian Earthenware Folk Art

A beautifully detailed vintage Romanian pottery plate, hand-painted in a traditional folk art style and signed on the underside “Raducan Ioan, Oroga, Jud. Olt.”

This piece features a bold central floral motif in green, cream, and terracotta tones, set against a deep brown ground with layered decorative banding and rhythmic dot detailing along the rim. The design reflects the rich ceramic traditions of Olt County, Romania—known for its expressive, hand-crafted earthenware.

The warm, earthy palette and graphic patterning make it an ideal piece to anchor a plate wall or add depth to a collected mix of European ceramics.
