Canakkale Plate handmade ceramic from Asia Minor.

The Çanakkale plate is a handmade ceramic or clay plate (often deep or bowl-shaped) from the renowned workshops of Çanakkale (Aegean Castle) in Asia Minor. It flourished greatly in the 19th century and became particularly popular in the Aegean islands and the Dodecanese, where they were often used as decorative hangings on the walls of homes.

They were made from red or rich clay,

They featured painted designs with manganese oxide (brown, violet, ochre), swirling patterns, botanical themes (branches with leaves and flowers), or even relief decorations.

They were inexpensive, folk items for everyday or decorative use that were transported by the ships of the shipowners of the time. Today, they are sought-after folkloric and collectible items.
